Free Agency Series: 2017-2018 Cap Space
The Cap Space Situation
The Minnesota Timberwolves have not maximize their Salary Cap for 2016-2017 season, failing to sign Luol Deng in the team left them a cap space of 12,437,000$. A big amount in which will be useful for their Free Agency Shopping next off season. But is the 12,437,000$ only our cap space for next season? Luckily we still have ways to increase our cap space to improve our team considerably. Maximizing our Salary Caps Space will look like this.
Current Cap Space : $12,437,000
Like what I previously said will be transferred over for the next season.
Non-Guaranteed Contract : $4,180,000 (Jordan Hill)
Jordan Hill signed a 2 year / 8 million dollar contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves in which the 2nd year has a Team Option that they can decline. Now Jordan Hill did not show enough contribution to be part of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Medical Retirement : $11,600,000 (Nikola Pekovic)
Nikola Pekovic missed the entire 2016-17 season because of his chronic ankle injury. Also saying a statement that he is more prepared in ending his career than returning.
Out-Going Timberwolves Players
Brandon Rush : $3,500,000
Adreian Payne : $2,022,240
Omri Casspi : $138,414
Total Projected Cap Space for 2017-2018 Season : $33,877,654
Total Projected Cap Space for 2017-2018 Season: $29,690,055 (if Muhammad is part of the team next season)
The Timberwolves have a big cap space next season. The question is will they spend now or save it in order to secure the contract of Towns, Wiggins, and Lavine. Without a doubt the Timberwolves need to spend the 90% of their cap space, but who will they sign this upcoming off season?

What if Shabazz Muhammad accepted a Qualifying Offer of the Team?
Shabazz Muhammad is a 4th year player that was picked in the first round giving the Minnesota Timberwolves the chance to sign an extension of 1 year via the Qualifying Offer Contract. Which if accepted, the next year's salary of Muhammad will be $4,187,599
Total Projected Cap Space for 2017-2018 Season: $29,690,055 (if Muhammad is part of the team next season)
