Dez could play for 2-3 million a year.... then get a huge year where he makes 15 million
and on down the line.... Key is when they do the contracts.... you can't but but one or two guys getting a huge payout in the same year. That's the tricky part with contracts and why we discuss it on a forum and why they make millions figuring it out.
Only reason this cant work is because of the rule of 125% in other words base salary cant go up more than 125% in any given contract year. Its why teams give signing bonuses and spred it across the life of the deal.
If you give Dez a $40 million deal over four years and pay him $10 million in bonus, you cant split the other $30 million as 3+3+3 +21. It would have to be 5+7+8+10=30 And even there his cap numbers would be $$7.5 , 9.5, 10.5 and 12.5 respectively in each year.
Admittedly I just pulled numbers and years out of thin air for demonstration, but the rule of 125% is a mother, and it was the ultimate justification for both teams cap sanctions.
Wrong ...... Ratliff is making less than 50% this year than he will next... wouldn't be making that much except for the restructured money.
I can send you the new CBA if you want to read it. A player can make 2.5 million this year... and 15 million next year.
Shark, I was ready to agree with you, but when it comes to the CBA and contracts I will go with Twist and Nets thoughts. They spend more time than a whole of a lot us others do on it.
