It's all good the extension counts against Milwaukee's cap even if Scottie is dealt before July 1st
Yah, but it makes salaries pretty much impossible to match when Scottie only counts for $10 million outgoing on the Raptors cap sheet.
Let’s say you add RJ, him + Scottie would count as ~$63 million in incoming salary for Milwaukee but only ~$35 mil in outgoing salary for Toronto.
Neither team has any cap space, so no matter what combination of players you add, one side is gonna have too much incoming salary if Scottie’s involved.
I hear you on all this. Someone like douggood could answer alot of questions like this. I think scotty's extension counts as a standing contract. So if he's traded....that same legal contract extension applies to trade salary requirements under the CBA.
I kinda take for granted that if this was a major stumbling block....the media guys would report on it.
Y'know....for as much crap that ppl here talk about a guy like Doug Smith....if you go to the YouTube ppl ....they literally identify anything he publishes as a "major update" lol.
So it's almost like there is a primary and secondary media dynamic. The secondary media ppl report on what the primary media publishes.
Pensare and the youtube ppl can disrespect Doug Smith all they want. Pensare would literally kill a kitten to have the career that Doug Smith has. But he never will because he is a raging, dysfunctional narcissist who lies about getting robbed by black ppl.
Imagine being in your late 30s/early 40s and failing to become a basketball media person (failing to become anything else too) while publically smearing and insulting others who succeeded and accomplished more in that same field. Doug Smith been a respected journalist his entire adult life. Pensare is a middle aged man with bags under his eyes who hasn't held down a proper job since he folded clothes at Abercrombie and finch.
Imagine trying to bully an elder, near senior citizen, on the internet because you hate that they succeeded where you failed miserably?
Man, you would be a lot happier if you never watched another Pensare video
. I’ve watched maybe 30 minutes of his content and that was enough to realize he has nothing but toxicity to offer the fanbase. But as for why media guys aren’t reporting on it, I think it’s because it’s a problem easily resolved by timing. A lot of the trade proposals floated could still work, but only after July 1st.
If the rumours heat up and it looks like there’s any actual substance to them, I expect media guys will start diving deeper and explain why a pre-July 1st trade isn’t possible.
Good primer on poision pill extensions from Hoops Rumors :
For salary-matching purposes, if a player is traded between the time his rookie contract is extended and the following July 1 (when that extension takes effect), the player’s incoming value for the receiving team is the average of his current-year salary and the annual salary in each year of his extension. His current team, on the other hand, simply treats his current-year salary as the outgoing figure for matching purposes.
For Scottie who makes $10.1 million this year but is going to average $44.5 million over his next 5 years, his salary in a trade would count as $39 million incoming for the Bucks. That’s a $29 million difference on paper for the same player.
