Barrow is scheduled to count $2.157 million against our 2005 cap, and $3.417 million against our 2006 cap.

Cutting him after June 1 would reduce his 2005 cap figure from $2.157 million to $0.417 million, a cap savings of $1.74 million. By doing that, we would have to carry dead-cap money for him in 2006, totalling $1.688 million. That $1.688 million would represent a $1.479 million savings from his scheduled figure of $3.417 million in 2006. Of course, we would still have to pay a player to fill the roster spot he vacated, probably a young guy.

Given our current cap situation with how bad we need cap space (especially since it looks like Gardner is sticking around), I'd call it a 99.9% chance Barrow is a goner on June 1.
