The only one that flamed out is Darko

Stretching Carmelo Anthony could save the Thunder $91 million. Should they do it?

Under the league’s collective bargaining agreement, teams can use the stretch provision to lessen a tax bill or cap hit when waiving a player. Teams are allowed to stretch the salary cap impact of the contract of waived player over two times the length of the contract remaining plus one year. Since Anthony has one year left on his deal, the Thunder could stretch it over three years (1x2+1).

So the $27.9 million owed to Anthony would be represented on the books as $9.3 million in 2018-19, $9.3 million in 2019-20, and $9.3 million in 2020-21. If the Thunder keep Melo around or waive him without using the stretch provision, his cap hit would be $27.9 million in 2018-19 and $0 going forward.

By using the stretch provision, the Thunder would avoid the huge luxury tax pain this season at the cost of limiting salary cap flexibility for two future years./

Stretch provision waive. Part of the contract remains on the cap for years rather than full yearly amount

Wade had dominant years and won ships. Bosh was a multiple all star and won. Carmelo messed his legacy up leaving Denver. Dude had a great situation and let his wife completely destroy it by wanting New york.

We should just eat the tax imo don't want 9mm dead capspace every season

It's not as if OKC will have cap space for the foreseeable future. This is just to ease the lux issues

As for Melo, I doubt he finds a situation where he can win AND he can start.
