so, we can do it still
We can front load contracts all we want, but the only thing that impacts our cap room 5 years from now is how much money a player is paid over the 5 years, not when it was paid. $10 million in cap spent in 2018 is equivalent to $10 million spent in 2020 if we're looking at cap room in 2020 and beyond. You and others are acting like spending money now doesn't impact our future cap space.
it does. I'm saying.. say we give him 25 guaranteed of a 50 mill 3 year contract. 20 in the 1st, 2.5 in yr 2 and 3.
we would only be out 2.5 in years 2/3 in dead cap space if it doesn't work out (cut)
Good lord, I'm done trying to explain anything to you. Either way, we owe the 25 in guaranteed money over the first 3 years. Who cares how much of it counts as dead cap space in years 2 and 3? Money we spend in year 1 has the exact same impact on our future cap space as dead cap in years 2 and 3.
you are not explaining it well because how is 25 guaranteed money in year one be 25 guaranteed money in year 3 ?
Cap space gets rolled over. Money we don't spend this year is rolled over to future years. If we spend an additional $25 million this year, that's $25 million we aren't rolling over to future years.
I can't make this any simpler for you...
