We'll finally be able to get off that god awful Bakhtiari contract at least
In a few years?
You think we're gonna keep him next year? I think we cut him and eat the dead cap but save $20 million
There's some sort of rule about not being able to cut him while he's injured unless he agrees to an injury settlement. In other words, depending on his health, they could owe him his entire remaining contract amount, and not just the dead cap amount that they would normally owe if he were released while healthy or traded.
I'm not sure how it's determined whether he's actually injured or not. It would seem that he has little incentive to try to return to the team. If he says he's healthy enough to play, then that means they can cut him and save $20m. If he says he's not healthy enough to play, it sounds like it could get messy. I'm not sure I fully understand this rule though.
Wut we've got here is... faaailure... to communakate.
