Can we apply for an injury exception? Do those count against the cap? I don't think we can do anything.
I think if the team has enough players injured they can add a player, but I believe they still have to deal with any apron hard caps. At the moment, the Warriors are stuck.
Honestly, I am at the stage where I would be fine with a buyout for KP. Give him his guaranteed $3M for this season and $3M for next season. That would open up a roster spot, plus drop the Warriors $17M below their 2nd apron hard cap.
In the event a player on a minimum salary contract goes down with a season-ending injury, the Warriors could waive the player (and pay them their guaranteed amount) and add a replacement vet minimum.
