There s a minimum salary floor that you have to hit, and for just this reason. Donald Sterling did this year after year until they made the rule.
Sexton has supposedly already signed an offer sheet with someone. Also don’t believe you can use a TE like cap room to sign FAs.

I don’t think OKC did it. That would be huge news. Those ty Philly Process teams never even did. They would pick up the corpse of some veteran after the post trade deadline cuts, and make the figure.
Even if we were able to eat all 47mm of Russ’ contract without sending salary out (we can’t) the Lakers would be at the salary cap.
They have no avenue to sign Sexton.

Something like 10+ mil with the DEN salary dump. Split between players on the roster depending on games played.
It’d create a sizeable trade exception that they could use though.
Which is probably pretty useless given they will have no assets to send out post Russ trade.
I think there's a fair chance that DJ Stewart gets the other 2 way. It makes sense at least. He can play some PG, makes good decisions, is a little more mature than the younger guys, and doesn't raise our ceiling.
If we took 1 unprotected 1st they'd still have one other 1st and a swap to use with the TE I believe. They'd have to take McDermott to make the numbers work as well.
I doubt their goal is to offload Russ without having the next deal lined up.
If you are paying an unprotected FRP to offload Russ you better have use for that TPE.
Philly used to do that to avoid paying their players extra. The CBA made that illegal, and the floor accounts for cash paid rather than cap space used. The Sixers used to trade for a guy making say $10 Million on his contract late in the year when it meant they only had to pay him $3 Million or so and then write off all $10 Million against the floor. Now doing so would only let them count the $3 Million.
I’m glad they closed that loop hole. Seemed unfair to the players.
I believe 90 per cent of the cap must be spent.

The Utah Jazz have agreed on a two-year, $6.25M deal with Italian forward Simone Fontecchio of Baskonia in the Spanish ACB, his agent Sam Goldfeder of @excelbasketball tells ESPN. @DraftExpress considers Fontecchio, 26, the best available international small forward prospect.

Would probably have to offer less picks without Porter in the deal tbh
Wow that is cheap as . They deserve what they got from Simmons then.
To be clear, the result that comes from that isn't particularly that the players get less. Their share of annual revenue is fixed. The individual players on those Sixers team got smaller bonus checks that they would have, but the money the Sixers saved got paid to the players as a whole out of the escrow fund. The obvious result of this is that other teams didn't get back as much money as they should have. Philly was more stealing from the rest of the owners rather than from the players, which is why the next CBA put a stop to it.

The Denver Nuggets are signing Australian F Jack White to a two-way contract, sources tell ESPN. White had a strong Summer League performance for Denver.
Meh, I’d rather have that than turning over my team to Klutch like the Lakers did
Hard to say with Luka. He’s probably eating his way across Europe like Robert DeNiro did for Raging Bull. Too busy enjoying life.
Harrell just got arrested apparently.
Might as well guarantee KBD's contract . . .
That was a month ago, before the draft.
