Is this article acurate? Is our salary cap hit based upon his initial deal or what we signed him for in the amnesty deal and his resigning? If so that gives us a lot more flexibility than I thought we had.
Expiring contracts
In the modern NBA, expiring contracts matter. As teams prepare to shuffle payroll in order to create salary-cap flexibility, soon-to-be free agents become a hot commodity in the trade market. With that in mind, Glen Davis should be at the forefront of any trade discussion.
His 2014 cap hit of $6.6 million is the last of his current contract. He will be an unrestricted free agent come the summer. That means that Los Angeles could find itself moving Big Baby for an upgrade in the frontcourt.
Here's a breakdown of every expiring contract the Clippers hold (data via Spotrac):
Player Position Age 2014 Cap Hit
Hedo Turkoglu PF 35 $915,243
Glen Davis PF 28 $6,600,000
DeAndre Jordan C 28 $11,440,123
Chris Roberts SG 27 $915,243
Ekpe Udoh PF 27 $915,243
Jared Cunn SG 23 $915,243
On a side note this article is rubbish, our biggest need is an athletic wing not another big man. Doc always puts transition defense before offensive rebounding so our reboundng numbers will always be lower than what they could be if Blake and DJ crashed the offensive glass.
