Assuming the cap goes up to around $95 million by then, that would only leave them with $28 million for the other 14-15 players on their roster. Ouch.
They need to offload Nurse in the worst way, but even if they do manage that (good luck moving that contract without a massive add-in, btw), that only marginally improves their cap situation. It's quite amazing, really.

It amuses me that it seems like we have been talking about Nurse and his albatross contract forever. He is only in year 3 of 8 of that thing. His salary is 12M this year and 10M next year. Maybe in year 5 of that contract when his real salary is 2M less than the cap you might have a chance, but it will still cost you.
