Ok..so we know the lakers are over the cap..the cavs are right at it or around it...dont the cavs have to send back a player that gets to within a certain range of paus prorated 19M? Gee and bynum would be approx 15.5M...what r the implications considering the respective caps AFTER the deal......just wondering since youre the resident larry ****...
Has to be within $5mil of Pau's contract because it is over $9.8mil
So it would have to be $14.285mil or more.
" Due to Cleveland being over the cap and having a post-trade Team Salary under the Tax Threshold and trading out less than $19.6M in salaries, the 50% trade rule is invoked. Cleveland could not receive more than 150% plus $100,000 or no more than $5,000,000 in additional salaries (whichever is lesser) of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. "
Lakers would be under the tax. By close to $1mil. They are at $79mil now. The $ disparity + cutting Bynum saves them about $9-10mil. Tax line is $71.2mil
Cavs will be over cap regardless of what they do.
