Now it becomes a three way for salary gimmicking purposes and Portland only needs 7M guaranteed to make the three way trade legal. So Ariza comes here for a 7M cap hit and is bought out receiving near all of it to become a UFA and make more than 7M to a contender. Detroit uses the 4.6M they got from Houston towards this buyout. So basically bought the #16 for $2.4M and a future >16 FRP (or >10 OA 7 yrs from now).

The $4.6 mil from Houston doesn't lower the cap hit though right?

Monetarily I realize that the cost in dollars in $2.4, but the actual cap hit is more important to the basketball operations department/us as fans.

Yeah, 7M counts against the cap, as does the #16OA money, so another 2.5M there so Detroit took on 9.5M against our 30M in cap space. So ~20.5M remaining. So No Fred VanVleet!

Yessir, I was actually thinking that this move helps get to the cap floor which reduces the chances of them making the VanVleet mistake.

I'd be shocked if it wasn't Ball. They need starpower as much as the Pistons do.
