They just have to be at the salary floor by the end of the season.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:Apparently they acquired Scott to help reach the salary floor.
The s*** thing about that is, if they hadn't reached the salary floor, they would have been required to pay the difference to their roster and split it among their current players. So basically this is a passive aggressive way of them telling the entire roster, "We would rather give this complete scrub $3m than let you guys have it."
Two thirds of the season are already gone, so they only have to pay $1M to Scott, instead of distributing $3M to the other players.The CBA is so darn weird.
