Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 3928322, member: 1969"] Salaries have to be equal within a factor of 125% (I think) So if a team send out $16 million in salary as an example they can take back $20 million in salary. So in that situation one of the teams would save $4m in salary (I also think there are situations where it can be 150%). I assume in this case Bledsoe's salary is less than Rondo + Beverley. The luxury tax, and moreso the luxury repeater tax % in the NBA is pretty high - I think it's over 300% of the excess over the luxury tax line in certain situations. So if you cut say $4 million in salary and are over the tax line, you could save $16 million in payroll in certain situations. [/QUOTE]
