Can the Hawks fit an import under the points cap?

^doesn't that defeat the purpose of the marquee player rule???

The marquee player should be exempt from the salary cap.

No, because you can still pay them, theoretically at least, millions. If it didn't count against the cap at all, teams using the marquee rule basically just get a free player.

So if they haven't used their marquee signing, the salary cap is not stopping them from doing so.

It is if they've already spent $850,001.

Are any of their big names a marquee signing? If not, then the salary cap isn't really an excuse for not getting a big name player.

The marquee player still counts against the cap for $150k (IIRC).

That's probably the reason the budget is tight: they'd be running low on salary cap space after those signings.
