    Might want his salary in order to make a trade later in the offseason without carrying that million in dead salary.

    Also, this likely would mean we aren't looking to spend money on a center if we really keep la. Kaman, plumlee, Leonard, la, vonleh is pretty crowded. Might just need a third center that could play sparse minutes

    I think we need Kaman's 5 mil for trades. We have little other salaries to include.

    Kaman at 5M for one year is a decent asset. Thinking we are just making sure a trade does not present itself from a team wanting to shed salary.

    Ok so we are keeping the Kaveman for now. The Kaman and Hendo for Hibbert trade is in play! We could use all our cap space first then finalize that trade Aug 25th when Hendo's trade restrictions end and we are over the cap. That would actually give us $5 million more in cap space than cutting Kaman and doing a Hendo for Hibbert swap now.

    • For two months after receiving the player in trade, if the trade aggregates the player's salary with the salaries of other players. However, the team is free to trade the player immediately, either by himself or without aggregating his salary with other salaries. This restriction applies only to players who were acquired using an exception (and not cap room). (Also see question number 88.)
    http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q100

    It is very likely for the Trail Blazers or Pacers to be under the cap and remove the need to aggregate Henderson's contract to make the deal.

    So if they don't trade Kaman, I'm expecting they sign a Luol Deng type for $10M, then go over the cap for Wes and LA. Then get a backup PG (CJ Watson) with the cap exception.

    Lillard / Watson
    Matthews / McCollum
    Deng / Henderson
    Aldridge / Leonard
    Plumlee / Kaman

    Thing is, is that team better then last year's? The bench is certainly better but I'm not sure about the starting lineup. And is it enough to bring LA back?

    Vonleh and Plumlee should be happy; they're about to get better.

    How does Kaman make those two players better when he'll be somewhere else next year?

    Yeah that definitely the most likely outcome, but if he stays because Neil fucks up, it's not all bad.
