But you know if you guys will try to resign turkuglo he will probably ask between 8-10 million a year. So that will make your salary cap between 76-78 mill on par with the lakers and new orleans. As far as the lakers go what about odom is his salary included in here already?

No, Odom and Ariza are free agents so they aren't included. Shannon Brown's qualifying offer number isn't included either. The numbers also don't include the rookies that were drafted to teams last week.

Looking at the Kings, they have Rahim's salary included, but I'm pretty sure because he retired due to injury, we are paying him but the figure doesn't go against the salary cap.
