TayShawn and Rip Hamilton for Ron and Shannon. I'm sure Luke's expiring contract will be there too and maybe a rookie.

I'll take that in a heart beat.

Not knowing how the salary cap works isn't a big issue in my opinion (even though there is almost 10 million in salary cap difference). But thinking Luke is an expiring contract well that is kind of bewildering

I understand you have to be near a percentage of player salaries, what like 5%? I've been watching the NBA for near 20 years now youngin.

Why are you asking us what the percentage is if you "know exactly how it works"?

Under the current CBA a team that's over the cap can take on up to 125% + $100,000 of the salaries that they're dealing away. However this is only for a simultaneous trade. In a non-simultaneous trade the limit gets knocked down to 100% + $100,000 and the team is also only allowed to deal away a single player. Of course I don't need to explain the differences between a simultaneous and a non-simultaneous trade to you since after all, "you know exactly how it works".

If you actually knew how the cap works the first thing out of your mouth in this thread would have been "PTI is F'in stupid" instead of you claiming that said trade was/is "our best bet".
