Quoting: Bcarlo25
Sorry, you may have thought that i meant, “you can’t bank on LTIR room.” That is not what I meant. LTIR room cannot be, “banked.” In other words, it cannot be used as actual cap room. It cannot be saved. And you can’t take 2.5 million dollars thats been on LTIR all year, and replace it with a contract that, prorated, is 2.5 million at the deadline. LTIR simply means that you can replace that exact dollar amount. Let’s take a simple example. Player, “x,” is on LTIR for the entire season at 10 million dollars. At the half way point, a team wants to add two players, who prorated cap hit is 10 million. Can’t do it. In fact, you can’t even replace the 10 million prorated. What you can do, is replace that exact salary. So, 10 million dollar player is gone, and has been for the whole season. At the half way point of the season, you can replace that portion of his salary.
Lol no i get how it works.
Look closer:
You arent seeing the post then, Miller is a scratch IN THIS POST, meaning his 2.5 million is part of that -4.1 million. If you put him back on LTIR (Which is where he is), the cap of this team would actually be -1.6 because, like you said, once he is there, his cap is there, thats the "relief" that it provides. Thats what im saying.
So the cap should be -1.6, and then the fact that TT (even though he has already been traded lol) and CK only have like half of their caps count this season. (if its 1.5 mil each, thats -1.6 + 1.5 + 1.5 = +1.4)
So they are, in fact, not over the cap here.
To make is as clear as i can:
Team (2.5) -- LTIR (0)
Miller --- No miller
what it should be
Team (0) -- LTIR (2.5)
No Miller -- miller
