Dwight Howard Opt Out Situation

Skin · Post #1 » by **Skin** » Wed Dec 21, 2011 8:03 am

If the Magic don't trade Dwight all season long and he opts out, do the Magic retain his Bird Rights? My assumption is they do. If so, what would the cap hold be? And at what point does the Bird Rights go away? Can they do a S&T after the season?

If he signs with another team instead of the Magic, how much money does he stand to lose? Or would he not lose any?

Thanks ahead for the help.

yep, magic will have his bird rights.

what would the cap hold be?

somewhere around 18mil i believe

And at what point does the Bird Rights go away?

i guess if they were to renounce him

Can they do a S&T after the season?

, yes they can.

If he signs with another team instead of the Magic, how much money does he stand to lose? Or would he not lose any?

under a sign and trade or just straight signing with another team, d12 could only sign a max 4 yr deal with 4.5% raises. if he were to sign with the magic in this scenario, he could sign for 5 yrs with 7.5% raises.
