Salary Cap Question:

Here is a question for the cap guru's out there, with next years salary cap number being estimated to be so low, I was wondering if a team could sign a player to a deal this summer, in which they make say $7 million, then next year they make $4million, then in the 3rd year they make $7 million again, then increases from there. Never seen a deal like this, so I don't think it is allowed, but there are deals out there that go down over the life of the deal, (hinrich's is one example).

The maximum decline is 10.5% for a team that has Bird Rights and 8% for a team that doesn’t.

So the max increase

and the max decrease are the same percentage?

yes

but I’m not sure if you can have it roller coaster up and down or not. ive never seen one like that. they generally either decline steadily or rise steadily, not go back and forth.

How did you guys win that?

It's been done

I remember Andre Miller’s contract, when he first signed with Denver, yo-yo’d up and down for the first couple of seasons.

Something like $8 million the first year, $7.5 the second, back to $8 the third, up to $8.5 the fourth.

cool, thanks for the info

nice to know it’s possible. odd though. but i suppose it would make sense if you are angling to have space in one of the middle years of someone’s contract.
