    Could someone smarter than me answer this; When would we have to get below the threshold by to avoid paying the tax for this season? And when would we have to be below by to avoid being repeat offenders? Thanks

    Sometimes when a mommy and daddy love each other they make team. If they're drunk when they make a team they make an overpriced one. If they're crackheads they'll make an overpriced team that not very good.

    Our parents are crackheads.

    Team salary on the last day of the regular season is what is used to determine if a team has to pay luxury tax. If the team can trade the player before that date, his salary for the year is excluded.

    That's not polite, saying that you're smarter than Scalma. No gentleman would have answered.

    I guess the follow up is how far do we have to go exactly to get under for this season? Is it 3m?

    Nvm found it; $2.93m

    Trading Davis is probably the easiest way to get under. Maybe Vonleh but I just can’t see the team giving up on him now unless they got someone proven in return. Napier makes $2.3m but he’s worth more than a salary dump anyway.

    Then there’s Meyers. I could see a scenario where we dump him and save just enough to get under. So anyone making $7m or less.
