Here is a portion of the column:

By letting seldom-used forward Andres Nocioni ($6.65 million current salary) and starting center Spencer Hawes ($4 million) leave as unrestricted free agents, along with using the amnesty provision on starting power forward Elton Brand ($18.2 million), the Sixers could trim their projected 2012-13 payroll to $41 million on eight players.

With the salary cap at $58 million and expected to increase to about $60 million, the Sixers would have about $19 million available.
