If this is legit, Lewis will be bought out.

quote:

As has been noted several times, the Washington Wizards will have a chance to get out from under the final year of Rashard Lewis' massive contract next summer by buying him out for a partial amount of the money he's guaranteed. Previous reports suggested that number was around $10 million of his $22.7 million salary, and it was based on incentives that seemed impossible to reach. However, according to Michael Lee, Lewis' buyout number will actually be around $13.7 million due to incentives he hit while with the Orlando Magic.

Rashard Lewis' 23.8 million dollar contract can be bought out for 13.7 million before July 1st. Trade saves New Orleans around 30 million?

This may be the first of two moves. I'm 99% sure we can trade Lewis at any point for another player(s) so long as nothing else is packaged with him. Otherwise, we have to wait 60 days.

Interesting if this is true. I really thought we could fight for a playoff spot this season, but probably not after this. Obviously, the upside is that we'll have a shitload of money to spend next year with no Oak/Ariza and maybe no JJ.

Not without taking on another massive contract.

This makes us a potential player in FA this year. Playoffs are still very much a possibility.

New Orleans now has unlimited cap space, in addition to the #1 pick, the #10 pick, and Eric Gordon. Not a bad time to be a Hornets fan.
