    I thought this was pretty informative to read especially now that Kobe has a chance of heading there.

    Seems like a fine time, then, to go in a completely different direction and delve into a completely hypothetical situation.


    Completely.


    Let's say a marquee free agent signs a big contract with an NBA team this summer. It could be the team he currently plays for, or a team in the same city.


    A team that plays in the same building, even.


    Then that player is incarcerated.


    It's one of the most-asked questions we get here at Stein Line HQ: What are the salary-cap implications for the team in question if it ever signed a superstar free agent who is subsequently jailed?


    So we've consulted with salary-cap experts to address these implications. Answers to some good questions follow.....</div>
