"If the new Collective Bargaining Agreement changes the salary cap and luxury tax numbers significantly it's likely that it will include an amnesty provision allowing teams to reduce salary to better comply. The precedent came after the last CBA was agreed upon. Each team was allowed to cut one player, losing their services and removing their contract from the books for purposes of the total counted towards the luxury tax. "

I don't know if you've been paying attention lately but Portland's GM was fired this week partly because he wanted to suspend Roy for his outburst earlier in the season.

I think Roy is gonna be on that team fora while. How did they win though, who the he'll is gonna work for that team?

ive actually heard rumors that they have straight up just asked him to retire , i still have faith he can
develop into a kyle korver/james jones type role player 18 minutes of the bench knockdown shooter with the knee issues

"If the amnesty provision (provided there is one) remains exactly the same this time the Blazers would face a tough choice with Roy. The salary cap is certain to be reduced. The luxury tax threshold would be reduced correspondingly. If the Blazers retain Greg Oden, Nicolas Batum, Gerald Wallace, and any kind of starting point guard they'll be pushing the tax threshold. Teams under that line receive money from the tax fund. Teams over it pay out the nose, a dollar for every dollar they're over the limit. This isn't desirable. For a team attempting to balance a budget it can be the kiss of death


Brandon Roy makes between $15 and $19 million per year over the next four years. Figure you're paying that cost plus another $10 million per year in tax charges plus losing out on another $6 million that would have been coming in were you under the limit and all of a sudden you're carrying a $31-34 million dollar annual investment on bad knees. You can't cut all of that. You'll owe him the $15-19 million no matter what. But if cutting Roy would save you an extra $64 million over the next quadrennium you have to examine the bottom line versus what he can give you on the court."

Off topic but within the same realm, does this mean that Miami MUST win the 'ship this year?



- Owners will not only want a lower salary cap, they'll want a hard cap so no tax threshold (Somewhere around $51-53 million).

- If there is a hard cap it essentially eliminates the MLE and LLE.

- With Miami owing their Big 3 over $47 million next year they won't be anywhere close to filling out 15 roster spots.

Someone on local radio suggested Roy getting cut and then heading to Miami to play 15-20 minutes a night at the 1-2-3 spots. 

I could see it.
