[Rocketsftw]

have so many old players that they haven't renounced their rights to?

doesn't LA take a cap hit for it?

[laduane1]

I pray to any god that all those old players are off the books long ago.

[Frantik]

R u serious? is this real?

[DEEP3CL]

Yes it's real, it was cap holds on those guys that's why they're still counted against the over all cap. You can't renounce the rights.

[brandonkb8]

I still dont get it.

I still dont get it.

Yea, Huh? This can't be right.

[Gek]

We don't hold the rights to players that have been retired for 5 seasons.

[Gek]

That can't be right b/c Ira Newble has played with teams since the Lakers. Either way, we don't have to pay for them, they just count against our cap during the off-season. Maybe it's to guarantee us the MLE?

[DEEP3CL]

The cap holds are because the team deferred payments to those players.

[xkirruax]

Lol dose it matter we have no capspace anyways so its not like they are going to effect us and remeber they can also be used in S&T

Smart Man^^

In addition, up to 30% of a player's compensation can be deferred. Deferred compensation is included in team salary in the season in which it is earned, not the season in which it is paid.

English please.

I doubt this is correct, there's no way we are still having these 'count' against us or that we are still paying guys that have been retired for so long.
