No idea how they can take on Joe at 24 mil even if they throw in Varajeos 9.6 with Haywoods 10.5. Especially factoring in Thompson at 15-16 per

I explained it in the free agency thread

When you trade for players the salaries of the player you are trading for can go up to 125% of the players you trade.

Verajo and Haywood's contracts are around 20 mill. 125% of that is 25 mill. They can trade those 2 straight up for JJ


AFter saying all of that... Nets reporters have already reported its just "talking" and they would be surprised if anything came from it.

I think the Cavs are just throwing it out there to force other teams to stop frickin around and take Haywood off their hands



And the NBA allows you to sign your own players and go over the cap. All the players the Cavs have signed were on the team last year. They are just resigning them. The only way try can add players is through trades. They knew this last year which is why they acquired Haywood bc he is worth 10 mill non guaranteed this season which makes him valuable trade bait

It works with Varejao + Haywood. They are allowed to take on 125% + $100,000 in salary so the numbers just have to be close enough, not exact.
