To pay the luxary tax? I don't want him to have to eat rice and beans only.

i could see him dipping into the tax if we play well in the playoffs but i don't think he'll need to

Dex I know you're mighty concerned with retaining our FAs and I sympathize with that. As I an others have posted though we really do have ways to get around it and keep both TT & Felton.

At any rate...this should make you feel even better:

But multiple team executives have told CBSSports.com that they have raised their cap estimates to $53 million based on improving revenue data this season. Several expressed optimism that the cap could be north of $54 million.

The LT this past season was right at 12.5 million over the cap. If the above is true we're looking at possibly being over just 2-3 million retaining everyone vs the 5 or 6 I was thinking. It's not going to be an issue going over the LT.
