I was just gonna post about this. Everything I've read online says we don't save any of that money regardless, but Jim O said otherwise. So if Dame suddenly signs for like MLE money it would wipe a large chunk of that off of our cap sheet? Because that would be a massive difference maker.
I believe the relevant part of the CBA is Article XXVII (RIGHT OF SET-OFF), Section 1 (Set-off Calculation). I've only read that section once at this point, but it sounds like it would be 50% of the amount his next team pays him over this year's 1 year of service minimum. So 0.5 * ($$$ - $2,048,494).

Most likely not - that would only be the case if we sent out Kuzma in the sign-and-trade. You can look back for some of my previous posts for a more in-depth explanation.
