there is no cap space, because the bucks signed Middleton (with his bird rights) before this trade, they went way over the salary cap. This was only to cut costs. bucks were 22 million under the cap after the Ersan trade, traded for Vasquez for 6.5 million, signed middleton for 14 million, signed monroe for 16.7, saved 5.2 million for zaza, saved 4.3 million for Dudley = -4.5 million over the cap before signing Vaughn.
