We Need To Move Some Salary Still for Dwight

We can sign Dwight first. After that, we can sign other guys (take advantage of Prokhorov’s money) and then sign Deron using bird rights. It’s kind of like what the Heat did.

If that way isn’t valid, then yeah, we need to trade Farmar somehow. Include Damian James in the deal if that’s what it takes to make it happen.

You can only use the stretch provision on players signed under this CBA, i.e. Shawne Williams.

Also, Lopez’s cap hold should be roughly $7.7mil.

I think we may be a better team if we sign dwight and keep hump at the 4. Might be easier to do.

the league minimum salary is below $500,000. 2 cap holds = less than $1,000,000.
Also, the Nets’ #1pick will command only 2.5mil if it’s #6. I doubt that the Nets’ pick will be that high after Brook Lopez comes back.

But those numbers aren’t that important.

If Dwight does make it to FA, then the Nets have tons of extra assets to shed some salary, but it won’t take much. Farmer might leave anyway. Washington, the past 2 seasons, used cap room to take on small contracts just for cash, Yi and Turiaf. Farmar, Shw Williams, and Ammo have value and would be on small, expiring deals. Petro stinks but would also be on a small, expiring deal, attach a 1st rounder and he could probably be moved easily.

compare that to Dallas in which they would have to move either Marion or Haywood. No one will touch Haywood, he can be Amnestied. Marion though is owed an average of $9mil for the next 2 years, and he’s putting up pathetic numbers: 8ppg, 40%FG 15%3pt. It’ll take a lot of incentives to move him for pure cap room. It doesn’t look like anyone would want the lst year of Odom’s contract either the way he’s playing. If he’s not traded, he’ll need to be bought out for 2.5mil.

Columnists keep speculating that Dallas can fit Dirk, D-Will, and D12. If Dallas can move those terrible contracts, then Farmar, Shw Williams, Ammo, and Petro are also all very movable.
