Thanks breh this info helped. For anyone else not interested in reading the whole thing, this excerpt should summarize things

In context of a 4yr/36mil offer sheet to a RFA:

For the team making this offer, this contract would count for $9.0 million (i.e., the average salary in the contract) of team salary in each of the four seasons if they sign the player. If the player's prior team matches the offer and keeps the player, then the actual salary in each season counts as team salary. The player's original team is allowed to use any available exception (e.g., the Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level or the Early Bird) to match the offer

Has a guy who averages as many points as Asik does ever got a contract like this before? If you was to tell me that after the lockout a guy averaging less than 4 points per game would get a deal like this I would call you out your name.
