Thompson, Love, Irving, and LeBron all get max deals. Shumpert gets 40 million. Varejao and Haywood make 10 mil per each. Mozgov makes 5 and Miller makes 3. And somehow they still have money for Deli. I guess the Cavs operate w/o a salary cap.

No. You just don't understand how the cap works.

Kevin Pelton actually did a good job of explaining it on his chat today.

The NBA's salary cap is a soft one, meaning there are various ways to exceed it. In particular, teams are allowed to re-sign players who have spent at least three years with the team (or on the same contract in the case of trades) for any amount. That's allowing the Cavaliers to re-sign their own free agents. They will pay one of the largest luxury-tax bills on record.

I wondered the same thing a few years back, then I got my questions answered when I played Association in NBA 2K.
In the game, it's called Bird rights.

Any players that have been with your team for a certain amount of years, you can resign them without being limited by the cap.
Soooo, the loophole is that you sign free agents first (those that don't have bird rights) until you reach the cap limit, then you can use the bird rights on players that were part of your team to go over the limit and offer them as much as you like.

In the game, if you do the reverse it doesn't work because the bird rights still count towards the cap so then you couldn't use the loophole because you used your cap on a player who you had bird rights too.

Resigning all the player that don't have bird rights now (Thompson, Love, Shumpert, etc) and now they can give LeBron a kings ransom without worrying about the cap limit.

Just being facetious. The soft cap is one of the dumber concepts in sports. Either have a hard cap or no cap.

The "cap" was $28 million back in the day and Jordan by himself made $30 million. They were able to go out and sign Rodman to a $9 million a year. The Cavs lost the contracts of Hot Rod Williams and several other high paid players within years and we're always in cap jail. It's never made any sense. You've always had to have to right lawyer or accountant to get anywhere in this world.

LOL $3-5 million is still overpaid, If Dellavedova is their backup PG then the Cavs are going nowhere again next year.

They should just give him 100% commission on his jersey sales.
