Spurs: Sign Brandon Boston Jr.

Like I said, we got a little something back, but I'll bet we were near the top as far as dead money goes. A big contrast compared to this year - so far.

Let’s say for a hypothetical situation that the floor both last year and this year is $125M. I know it’s not, but this is hypothetical. Last year we had 18 contracts, $125M. This year we have 15 contracts $125M. The payroll is the same, and the dead money last year was under the floor figure. Without it, we don’t get our luxtax payout. That’s not the case this year. Any dead money we accrue is a waste and an overage, since we’ve already hit the floor with 15 contracts this year, instead of18.

Explanation is on point. We used the salaries to move us beyond the NBA team minimum salary requirements to get the luxury tax payments from the high spending teams. I know its part of the business but some teams aren't the brightest at handing out contracts. Uber rich billionaires, whose team is little more than an expensive hobby can pretty much throw away money.

Looked it up, the spurs got approximately 11 million in lux tax payments. The spurs are probably saving that money for Wemby's max extension a few years from now.

Dead money only matters to me if it’s over the floor/cap figure. In my example, the payroll was the same in both years. Does it matter if it’s 15 contracts or 18?
