Knicks Cap Space (Question about Incomplete Roster Charges Deduction)
Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2019 4:25 pm
How much cap space will the Knicks need to sign Durant and Irving for the MAX next season?
Theirs max salary will be 70,85M (35% + 30% of 109M Cap Space).
Can I deduct incomplete roster cap Holds while signing them? How many Cap Holds can I deduct? Can I sign both with a Free Cap Space of 69,95M or 69,05M?
The Knicks will have 22,7M in salaries in the books (Frank, Knox, Frank, Mitch, Noah and LT) and only 4 players in the roster. And there are various Cap Holds for 2019 FRP signing, no garantee (Dotson), team option players (Trier, Henry, Jenkins) and Birds Right Players (Kornet).
If the Knicks pick 5th pick (6,5M), Keep Dotson (1,5M) and Trier Cap Hold (3,5M), they would have 34,2 (22,7 + 6,5+ 1,5 + 3,5) in team salary for 7 players. To reach the 12 minimum roster spots, they would have to add 5 Incomplete Roster Cap Holds before hitting Free Agency. The Team total salary would be 38,7M (34,2 + 4,5M). The free cap space would be 70,3M. I simulated in http://www.shamsports.com/capulator?id=16204349705c898bfe3b736312691220. It worked out (despite they dont have updated the cap space to 109M). I had 2 FA to sign and I could pay the MAx for both . The capulator let you deduct 1 incomplete roster charge after signing the first FA. But you cant deduct while add the last one. You only is alowed to pay what you have left.
In http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm, I have found a rule that says that teams needs to complete a 13 roster players and there is a presumption that the Free Space left is to contract the next player. So you dont need to add a Cap Hold for the next player but we cant eliminate the Cap Hold added because other players.
But a user in Knicks board says Knicks could keep Jenkins (Team option 2M) as well, eliminating the need for an extra Incomplete Roster Cap Hold. The total salary would be 39,8M (22,7 + 6,5 + 1.5 + 3,5 + 2 + 4x0,9) and the cap space 68,2M. He is saying that rule dont apply anymore.
And another user in Knciks board says you have to save 70,85M to contract Durant and Irving and you cant elimate the Incomplete Roster Cap Holds while signing them due to timing reasons.
Thanks for the help.
