Shortly after DeMarre Carroll’s announcement on Twitter, Brian Windhorst tweeted that the Raptors will be doing some shifting in order to accommodate Carroll.
To create space to sign DeMarre Carroll, cap gurus believe Raptors will renounce rights to Amir Johnson but can keep those of Lou Williams

This should be no surprise. The Raptors won’t be planning on going over the cap by re-signing Amir Johnson. But if this report is true, then Masai is more willing to go over the cap to re-sign Lou Williams. In this case, if Amir eventually does re-sign, it won’t be for an amount that causes the Raptors to exceed the cap.
