I've read in this thread that we're slightly above the tax line right now. If we trade Dragic, that would be an ideal way to solve the problem. However, I was wondering how it works if we end up buying out Dragic. I believe we're something like $1.7M above the tax, so if we bought out Dragic for let's say $2M less than his total salary for the season, does this mean that we are under the luxury tax, or does the full salary still count towards that?
we would be under the tax if we bought him out in your scenario.
I am not sure that would be the case.
We are 1m above the tax. If Dragic signed for 1m + vet min contract, we should be at the tax line. I think he will need him to sign a 3m contract for us to be below the tax.
