As far as clearing cap space, the best way to do it is obviously dumping your big contracts for smaller contracts. Generally, when I clear cap space, I target younger players who are solid prospects. Another cap saver is look at the smaller contracts you have on your team (typically guys that dont make your rotations) and ship them out for weak picks, or send a few of those guys out with someone to consolidate your contract expenditures. You'll be able to see where your cap is going much easier having a guy that has a $1.85 mil contract as opposed to three guys who add up to that, and typically will have a better player on your bench by doing so.
