2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

^^^

But teams used existing numbers to make rosters and deals.

If cap is reduced say from $120m to $90m yet salaries are not reduced by same percent (not actual salary just for cap reasons) then about every team will be over.  And it will hurt all teams ability to make deals.  Since every team will scramble to get under lux which will be lower too.  They need to do it in relation.

Think of it like when caps went up bigtime the year KD left.  They should have throttled it but didn’t.  In reverse its going down bigtime yet if players cap numbers don’t adjust the same its going to create big problems for all teams.  No one will make any trades or deals since all teams will be closer to lux cap.  You basically take $30m away from teams if no adjustment.

Players would still get full pay this is only grandfathered in for all existing players for cap numbers.

Ok let´s say we adjust the numbers of the old contracts for tax-purpose but not for the cap. This will allow a wider range of trades and  the cap stays fair for everyone.
