It's a good lineup in both cases. I suppose the sad thing about this is that it's only temporary. The same players NEXT year would no doubt be over the cap, due to the "underpriced" (!!! even in millions) salaries of some players... the market will take care of that.

16mil for Ray Allen seems to be a bit of an idiotic idea.

I'm docking both of you for failing to pick David Lee for less than $1 mil. But otherwise nicely done.

That's an awful lot of salary left over... I say you need to re-evaluate your roster, MH7King.
