The only way to "handle" it would be to sign lesser talent.
Right now we have 49 million to re-sign 6 starters plus two key rotation guys (Hill, Topuo). Take away Thuney's 18 million and that just leaves 31 million for those 8 players, or a little under $4 million each.
There are other things we could do like release Waynes to create another $10 million, but overall we would be signing cheaper players than the ones we are replacing.
