In season you are only allowed to be under a 14 man roster for 2 weeks, so we would have to convert JRE and Ryan along with signing another guy.

And I don’t know where you got your information from, but minimum contracts do count against the cap, the NBA just pays whatever is above league minimum for veteran players with so many years.

And also, converting 2 ways does count against the cap, which is exactly the reason why we had to wait so long a couple years ago to convert Jose, because otherwise it would’ve pushed us into the tax.

Not trying to go back and forth here, but throwing shite that would never work against the wall based on false information is not going to help anyone.

quote:
If you are a veteran player with more than three years of experience and you sign a one-year minimum contract, the deal will only count for $2,019,706 against the cap. This is done in order to entice teams to choose older veterans over younger, cheaper players.

The money in a minimum contract becomes prorated to the day a player signs if they choose to ink a minimum deal in the middle of the season.

Yeah it’s coming back to me now, I’m sorry, you’re correct. I was thinking about him too and only remembered that we converted him because twoway players can’t play in the postseason, but you’re right, there was tax reasons as well. I was going from memory and got the vet min exception rule that you can sign as many as you want as long it doesn’t go over the hard cap confused with it not counting against the cap for tax purposes. That’s my mistake.

You are right, if we convert JRE and/or seabron, we’d pay a prorated amount, which would be about $500k each if we waited till the last day possible to convert. I guess technically we would only need to convert one and could sign another twoway. But I don’t remember all the twoway exception rules when it comes to how many can play and for what number of games, and I don’t want to open that can of worms or try that math gymnastics.

I was blinded by my 4-year-long love affair with Paul Reed. He’s my Collin Sexton
