2020-2021 AROUND the NBA: Archived

I believe you, but do you have an example?



I'm sorta fascinated that KP is almost exactly at that minimum amount you cite to maximize cap savings. If Portland prefers another player to KP while stacking the cash, they could always flip him in a separate step-down trade that brings back about $25.3mm. Maybe they get another point guard that way. Come to think of it, Charlotte has a surplus and has been rumored to be interested in Porzingis.

I do.  Milwaukee needed Cleveland to allow them remove protection on a pick in order to make the Jrue Holiday trade.  Payment was a second rounder.

Good catch on a way to trade even less salary to Portland without going under the cap.
