I am going to link and share the full spreadsheet when complete but attached my team as an example (the first part will no longer show once you assign players just want to make it super clear for everyone how it will look initially).
Yellow players are guys based on 2017-2018 contracts and thus you have choice whether to keep them or release them at no cost. All other year salaries are average and rounded up or down.
To get a better sense of things have a look at the multi-year summary but keep in mind it's not always going to be exact as a guy like Nurkic signed his extension this offseason but was a RFA otherwise (regardless of RFA any offseason extensions don't count), which is why he is yellow and only costing me 2.9m. Also guys who were not on team to end last season will not be on team this year. You will also get rights to any 2 way players at whatever small cap hit they may have and these guys will always be yellow as well.
