Someone clear up a cap question for me. If a team has $15-$20 million in cap space, they can go over that, but then they'd have to go into the luxury tax correct? How much tax would said team be forced to pay.
No one knows exactly what kind of offer the Bulls extended to Melo. From what i've read, Melo and the Bulls didnt even talk about contract details. Anyway, if the Bulls were to amnesty Booz and trade Dunleavy, that would free up $15-$18 million , I believe. So, I would think thats how much Anthony would be offered, correct? Or could Chicago still offer , lets say $20mil/ per year, even though that puts them well above the cap......? And for the record, Jerry Reinsdorf has allowed the FO to do whatever it takes to improve the team. That being said, no one knows how far up the luxury tax ladder JR would go. And arent there future penalties for continuously going into the tax?
In any event, everything we've done since meeting with Melo, points to him not coming here. I'm pretty resigned to the fact that he'll stay in NY. The money and comfort is just too much.
