How long does BOS have to clear cap space for these moves and what happens if he can't?

Ah, nevermind, I see the spreadsheet is wrong about his cap penalties. Faked me out, doh!

I looked too. Fantrax is correct and he has about $32M in cap space. These signings are about $30.5M. Even if he didn't I believe the rules state 72 hours to fix roster (but in this case we'd want it done prior to lineup deadline Monday) or the signings would be reversed. That's not the case here.

FYI, thought you guys might be interested in this. Gurriel signed for:
3 years, $66M (AAS $22M) in DD2. 1 year, $20M (AAS $20M) in DD1.
