Keeping Up With The Bobcats Salary Space

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

The difference is between the 57,296,451 number and yours is a total of 7,424 dollars. That's pretty close.

True lol

The Bobcats can match any offer for Hendo up to 5.4 roughly before going into the luxury tax to retain him. Going to be funny to have a 26-35 win team that's in the luxury tax.

Lol. I'm so ready for that Gordon contract to come off.

Anything more than 5.4, I say just let the man walk and play Gordon. We'd be in position to draft a replacement next year too.

Luxury tax is around $70 million guys, we dont have to worry about that.  Its usually 12 or 13 mil over the salary cap

Can NBA players take pay cuts/restructures like in the NFL?

 

 

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I believe they can... However, since the NBA features a soft cap (meaning you can go over the cap, but you have to pay extra to the league), no one is ever asked to.

 

I am 99.9% sure that it is against the CBA for players to restructure a contract. The only way you can take a pay cut is to resign for a lesser amount once your contract is up. It's what Tim Duncan did for the Spurs, and what Dirk is saying that he will do.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

That makes sense...

You really don't need anyone to take a paycut with a soft cap.

I think Richard Jefferson took a paycut to stay with the Spurs a couple years ago. It can happen, just very rare.

 

Edit, nevermind. He apparently declined a player option and re-signed for less.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

The NBA released the official numbers for the salary cap, tax level, and salary floor today which has allowed me to get an even more accurate number.

 

Cody Zeller officially signed his contract today, so once his contract numbers are released we will know exactly how much cap space we have left.

Just a heads up the Mcroberts deal was for $5.5 mil and not $6 mil over 2 years as was initially reported

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Thanks bud, appreciate it.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Adding cap space by the hour lol. 

 

I think we added 300,000 in the past two hours thanks to the actual McRoberts deal and the slight increase of the salary cap.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Lol since he is Jesus, he would probably take a pay cut since it's the right thing to do lol.
