Other teams with cap space more than the Mid-Level Exception include the Indiana Pacers, Detroit Pistons, Sacramento Kings, Oklahoma City Thunder and Orlando Magic. Most other teams will spend their time, efforts and money on retaining their own free agents. FRIDAY MORNING JUNE 30th UPDATES:  James Harden  opted into the final year of his  $35,640,000 contract.
