Even if they move just MGK and sign Kemba to the max (1st year salary is roughly $32m) they'll be at $121m plus whatever their rookies make - it'll be below the luxury threshold. Plus, looking ahead one year when all those guys come off the books they'll free up another $32m in space. Signing Kemba is about more than just next season, obviously. There is enough talk about CHA bringing back both Kemba and Lamb; the financials for bringing back Kemba aren't a concern. [/QUOTE]
