On Cam Thomas:.🏀Will make $5.99M this season.🏀No-Trade Clause for this season because he loses Bird Rights if traded.🏀Unrestricted free agent in 2026.🏀Not extension-eligible.🏀If traded, new team will have Non-Bird Rights. Can sign Thomas for $7.2M without using space or MLE.

After re-signing Day'Ron Sharpe and Cam Thomas, the Nets are still sitting on $22.6M in cap space. Brooklyn has pending agreements with Ziaire Williams and Ricky Council IV. Those could come from cap space or the Room Exception. Nets are currently ~$7.1M under the salary floor.

Interesting Brooklyn Nets cap quirk:.Day'Ron Sharpe re-signed, which ate into the Nets available cap space. However, Cam Thomas signing the qualifying offer (which was less than his cap hold) restores about $6M in cap space for the Nets. Brooklyn essentially comes out even here.

I have a similar feeling about cap circumvention as I do about fixing games/stats: When the foundation of fair play is compromised, it all starts to feel pointless. If you find a true loophole to exploit, good on you. Exploit it. If you are actively cheating, that's where it all.

Because Washington is extending beyond the extend-and-trade parameters, he'll have a six-month no-trade restriction from the day he signs. That's means that Washington can't be traded this season, as the restriction will run past the NBA trade deadline on February 5.

PJ Washington's extension with the Dallas Mavericks should look like this (Veteran Extension at 140% raise over current salary with 8% raises after):. 26-27: $19.8M.27-28: $21.4M.28-29: $22.9M.29-30: $24.6M.Total: four years, $88.8M.

Just in case, here are the penalties when the Minnesota Timberwolves were found to have circumvented the salary cap to sign Joe Smith:. -5 first-round picks forfeited (two were returned later).-$3.5M fine.-Smith's most-recent contract was voided, and his Bird Rights were stripped.

This is going to be interesting.

Dru Smith's new contract with the Miami Heat is a three-year deal. The first season is fully guaranteed, and the last two seasons are non-guaranteed with late-June guarantee dates, a league source told @spotrac. Heat used Smith's Early Bird rights to give him a three-year deal.
