Max Cap Room
$14.1 million Nontaxpayer Mid-Level Exception

$5.1 million Bi-Annual Exception

Potential Free Agents​

• Matisse Thybulle ($11.6 million player option, Full Bird Rights, Unrestricted)

• Dalano Banton ($2.3 million cap hold, Early Bird Rights, Unrestricted)

• Jabari Walker ($2.7 million cap hold and Qualifying Offer, Full Bird Rights, Restricted)

• Duop Reath ($2.2 million salary non-guaranteed)

• Rayan Rupert ($2.2 million team option, Early Bird Rights, Restricted)

• Toumani Camara ($2.2 million salary non-guaranteed)

Summary
Even if the Trailblazers lose all their potential free agents, they won't have meaningful cap room, barring any major trades. 

 

If Thybulle opts out and leaves, the Trailblazers might have enough room to use their full MLE and/or BAE to add talent, depending on where their first round pick lands. If Thybulle opts in or re-signs for a similar value, the Trailblazers will likely have just the $5.7 million Taxpayer MLE to add talent, and realistically might just sit out free agency to avoid the luxury tax.

 

Depending on what happens with their existing potential free agents, they might be over the first apron and only have the $5.7 million Taxpayer MLE to add talent.
