16

Portland Trail Blazers 12 Players under contract: LaMarcus Aldridge, Luke Babbitt, Earl Barron, Nicolas Batum, Marcus Camby, Raymond Felton, Armon Johnson, Chris Johnson, Wesley Matthews, Brandon Roy, Gerald Wallace and Elliot Williams Total Payroll: $69.95 million 2 Free Agent Cap Holds: Patrick Mills and Greg Oden (using 2010-11 max cap hold) Total: $14,738,854 3 First Round Cap Holds: Nolan Smith (No. 21), Victor Claver (2009 draft No. 22) and Joel Freeland (2006 draft No. 30) Total: $3,078,600 Estimated Over The Cap: $29.73 million Notes: Portland's cap can decrease slightly if they waive Earl Barron and Chris Johnson, who have conditional contracts for next season. Regardless, the Blazers will be well above the 2011-12 salary cap when it is announced. They may be content with moves made so far; or simply have no choice.
