Welcome to Charlotte Vasilije Micic

I'd love someone to figure this out. Please don't tell me we have $8m in cap space taken up by this now.

I don't even think they can flip his salary along with other salaries, guess it depends on when the Mark trade is officially finalized.

Most likely we buy him out, it is 8 million in dead cap- which sucks because it gives us less salary to work with in trades.

Not familiar enough with the CBA to know - why can't he be aggregated? I thought that was only an apron thing.

A player can't be aggregated once traded for 6 months. So this is basically 2 scenarios.

1. The Mark trade is official- which means we can only flip Micic by himself.
2. The Mark trade is still not official- can be expanded into 3+ team trade.

Ah, gotcha. Appreciate the explanation!

We do.

We are paying a fee to free a roster spot that won't mean spending the MLE. Because then ownership is looking at 14 (MLE) + 8 instead of 2 second round contracts like Moussa's + 8.
