Max Cap Room
$14.1 million Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception

$5.1 million Bi-Annual Exception

Potential Free Agents

• Luke Kennard ($17.6 million cap hold, Full Bird Rights, Unrestricted)

• Jake LaRavia ($5.2 million cap hold, Limited Bird Rights, Unrestricted)

• Santi Aldama ($11.9 million cap hold, $5.9 million Qualifying Offer, Full Bird Rights, Restricted)

Summary

Barring major trades, the Grizzlies will be over the cap even if they lose all of their own potential free agents, so they will be operating over the cap. 

​

They likely will have enough room below the first apron to use the full MLE and BAE to add talent. However, depending if Kennard and/or Aldama are brought back, they may be too close to the first apron to use the full MLE and BAE, and may be limited to using the $5.7 million Taxpayer MLE to add talent.
