The best teams find ways to create MORE cap space for each year, not find ways to make less. Worry about potential cap issues 3 years from now, 3 years from now.

As of now they’re a 2-14 team and need better players. They’ll pay something like 35 mil of his contract first two years. Front load so when better players from the draft come around for extensions you have flexibility to move his contract or be able to take those on (hopefully Joey B). I’ve been on record saying I didn’t understand this deal, but it’s where we’re at.
