1. You can't agree not to stretch a contract. That 2.8 would be stretched.

2. If he can get 3 mil, he can just as easily get it after getting paid his full deal. And even if he just gets vet minimum or a deal in China, he's ahead by not giving up his money. His best business play is to not negotiate down.

You sure 24? Pincus talked about the same idea I just said in his last article

"The Lakers can also choose to waive him without stretching his salary, eating up that full $5.7 million for next season (less any money Young might be willing to give up in buyout)."

The payment schedule to the player and the charges against team salary don't necessarily have to synch (match). *


65. What happens when a player is released? What are waivers? What is the Stretch provision?

Quote:

Individually negotiated revisions to the payment schedule are not allowed for contracts signed or extended under the current CBA2. For these contracts or extensions, a waived player's guaranteed salary for the remaining seasons3 is "stretched" and paid in equal amounts over a greater time span, as follows:

If the player is waived from July 1 to August 31, then his remaining salary is paid over twice the number of years remaining on his contract, plus one. For example, if the player is waived on August 1 with two seasons remaining on his contract at $10.2 million and $10.3 million, respectively, then his remaining salary is paid over five years (two seasons times two, plus one), in even amounts of $4.1 million per year.

If the player is waived from September 1 to June 30, then the current season is paid per the normal payment schedule, and any remaining years are stretched over twice the number of years remaining plus one as described above. For example, if the player is waived on December 1 with two seasons remaining on his contract at $10.2 million and $10.5 million, respectively, then the current season (at $10.2 million) is paid normally, and the final season (at $10.5 million) is stretched over three years (one season times two, plus one) and paid in even amounts of $3.5 million per year4.




66. How do released or stretched players apply to team salary? What is set-off?

Quote:

If the player's salary payments are spread-out using the Stretch provision, the team may elect to stretch the salary cap charge to match. For example, if two seasons remain on the player's contract when he is waived, and the payment is spread-out over five years per the Stretch provision, then the team may elect to spread-out the salary cap hit over those same five years.

In all other cases (i.e., when the contract or extension was not signed under the current CBA, or when the team elects not to spread-out the cap hit per the Stretch provision), the player's remaining guaranteed salary is included in team salary in the remaining years of the contract, ignoring any revisions to the payment schedule. For example, if a player who signed under the previous CBA is waived with two seasons remaining on his contract and the team & player negotiate a lump-sum payout of the remaining guaranteed salary, the player's salary continues to be included in team salary over the next two seasons.

The Biggest Dead Weight for Every NBA Team

Quote:
#9 - Nick Young, Los Angeles Lakers
Box Plus/Minus: -4.8
Win Shares: 0.1

When your primary, secondary and tertiary skills on the basketball court are shooting the ball, it's usually best to be at least average at it. Nick Young, however, put together a grotesque shooting season, making 36.3 percent of his two-point shots and 32.5 percent of his threes.

That's not a deadline.

The only significance of 9/1 is that it marks the start of a new season contractually.

A good article breaking down the various options we have when it comes to Nick Young and his contract. Most of us here already know this, but it's cool to read any Lakers news in the dead of summer.

Chump change .
We are the most profitable team in the league. With a 20-year television deal with Time Warner Cable worth $3.6 billion.
5 mill a year (for two years) is small when the cap is heading north of 100 mill a year.
I get why any owner wouldn't want to waive a player and still have to pay for him.
But Nick's salary isn't a high cost to pay if we really want him gone by FA.

If the Lakers are trying hard to move on from the honeymoon -- then what does that say about how bad Young screwed up? Honestly if there is one thing the Lakers do, is they let you figure out mistakes and see if you can resolve them, so far it looks like the Lakers have no hope for Young despite the fact that Young has done his part in helping the LA community and also being a bright spot in the 2014 season.

If the Lakers are trying to move on, we as fans should follow suit.

The Lakers have leverage but Nick must comply or be gone.

If he is traded, it is interesting to consider the possibilities of tying Nick to Yi whose accelerating contract acts as financial penalties for trading partners who wait, the timing of which is controlled by the Lakers based on games played.

Regardless, Swaggy will be gone, and I doubt Nick will let go in time to save himself.

Pity.

Would it not reflect poorly on the Lakers to sign Yi just to turn around and trade him immediately?
Or maybe just a cost of doing business?
