The Rockets may not be able to get a new guard before the season begins.

They’re right up against the first apron hard cap and have six trade-eligible players (Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun, Jabari Smith Jr, Amen Thompson, Reed Sheppard, Tari Eason) who are unlikely to be moved.

Kobe Bufkin Trade, Atlanta Hawks Upcoming Contract Negotiations, and Brooklyn Nets Cap Update I examine how the Hawks have positioned themselves well to extend Dyson Daniels, Kristaps Porzingis, and Trae Young. Also, an update on the Nets cap space and salary floor figures.

The Knicks Final Roster Spots and How it Impacts Their Second Apron Situation The Knicks are looking to add two veterans to fill their final roster spots. I show the type of trade that would be required to make it happen and how it leaves them with more in-season flexibility.

New post on Third Apron:

The Knicks surprised us by signing multiple veterans.

I wrote about how they could keep both Landry Shamet and Malcolm Brogdon, the type of trade that would be required, and how it would allow them to sign a 15th player sooner.

The Nets Updated Cap Space Plans, Cam Thomas Qualifying Offer, and P.J. Washington Extension I show how the Nets could roll over cap space into the season after re-signing Cam Thomas and Day'Ron Sharpe and take a look at the Mavericks long-term cap impact by extending P.J. Washington.

More on the Nets cap space situation: www.thirdapron.com/p/the-nets-u...

The Brooklyn Nets have 18 players on standard contracts after re-signing Ziaire Williams.

They are roughly $7 million below the $139.2 million minimum team salary floor when factoring in they need to get down to 15 players, likely by waiving three non-guaranteed players.

The Nets could roll over cap space into the season after officially re-signing Cam Thomas and Day'Ron Sharpe. I examine how they could maneuver that and analyze the Mavericks' long-term outlook after extending P.J. Washington.

BSJ Exclusive: Kawhi Leonard's reported side-deal with Aspiration is nearly twice what was originally reported, which put the questionable commitment to him closer to Clippers owner Steve Ballmer's $50 million investment ... which itself has a curious twist.

Last week on Third Apron, I wrote about the updated trade landscape for Giannis Antetokounmpo. I touched on how the Warriors could match his salary in a trade given their impending second apron hard cap.

The same dynamics would apply in a potential trade for LeBron James.

New pod: Lakers Cap Situation

Darius is joined by salary cap expert @yossigozlan.bsky.social to discuss the Lakers cap situation for the summer of 2026 & beyond, the role LeBron’s future plans play, how Austin's cap hold & next contract impacts this & MORE.

The Brooklyn Nets have $22.5 million remaining in cap space after acquiring Haywood Highsmith.

Day'Ron Sharpe and Ziaire Williams remain unsigned, so they're likely working with less cap space when factoring them.

They'll need to cut two players before start of regular season.

The Miami Heat get under the luxury tax by trading Haywood Highsmith.

They need to sign one more player but have enough space to stay under the tax with a minimum signing.

They also create a $5.6 million trade exception.
