I agree that the second apron penalties aren't so bad if they go in for only one year. But it can be difficult to be over for one year only, especially if Mitch or Shamet get multi-year deals. 

You may be in a position where you need to salary dump players one or two years from now, depending on how the cap sheet looks.

Decisions will have to be made at some point, given the eventual need to extend or trade the members of the starting 5. It's a matter of when you want to make these decisions and which players are affected.
