Last year, I wrote about the NBA's vanishing 15th roster spot for
@spotrac.com. I covered what has caused this and got a lot of quotes from execs, players, agents and coaches about the issue.

This year 16 teams (simple math got me!) have left a spot open:

Kevin Durant took a bit more than $30M less than he was eligible to extend for with the Rockets. That should help Houston retain their young core and build the roster out around Durant.

Good work by Durant and Houston to get to a reasonable number that allows flexibility.
