    So the Nets bought him out and once he clears waivers Dallas can sign him.

    Can we threaten to block that and demnd something from Dallas not to, like in baseball?

    Makes sense to all concerned.

    I was thinking, and talent-wise, peak Deron Williams is probably Lillard's ceiling. But character-wise, Damian's ceiling is probably peak Chauncey Billups.

    I'm confused by this situation. Is Dallas gonna pay the bulk of his 43 million owed from the Nets so they get off of trying to stretch his contract like the pistons are doing with Josh Smith?

    I suppose we could claim him off waivers, but then we'd get stuck with the last two years of his contract at something like $20M per year. I think if Olshey was interested in that, he just would have made a deal with the Nets. Otherwise, he's a FA and can sign wherever he wants.

    It's sad. He used to be one of my favorite players to watch when he was on the Jazz, I had both his and Roys Nike Zoom Phenom shoes.

    Wow, it's good to be Deron... How does this buyout effect Brooklyns cap situation?

    Then Brooklyn doing this makes no sense..... They could've just dealt him to Dallas for a 2nd rounder or something and let Cuban deal with it.

    I'm pretty sure it doesn't - they're still on the hook for the whole thing cap wise.

    I thought when a player is bought out, the new contract they have with their new team would offset the team's cap that bought him out.

    Example: 20 mil player bought out, new team pays 10 mil, old team is on hook for entire amount but 10 mil on cap

    That's what I thought. Like with Josh Smith, they stretched his contract to 5 million over (x) amount of years after he signed in Houston

    Don't take my word for it. I don't really know shit about the cap. Just thought it was something like this. We need the cap gurus to confirm
