Thanks a lot, that's a good link. It is real scary to see all those numbers next to each other. I wonder if they really are obligated to pay Houston the $20.7 million he is reportedly due next year.
I don't really understand the salary cap at all. But that chart suggests that in a couple of years their payroll will drop dramatically, unless, of course, they continue their spending binge. Perhaps in 2009/10 they will have money to spend?
I'm color blind so not sure I'm reading this correctly. Is Crawford really signed through 2010-11, when he's due to make $10 million?

That's correct. Crawful has a player option in 09/10 which he will obviously pick up. Houston's contract does indeed count as well.
The thing about thinking they'll have cap room is that 09/10 is that they will have roughly $35 million in just Curry, James, Richardson, and Crawford. You have to think they'll extend Frye with a large deal since he is one of the few good players on the team. I think it's highly unlikely they have cap room any time soon.
