cap hit for lin will only be $8 mill for rockets even though salary will be $14 mill. I'm guessing cap hit spread out for asik as well.

Excuse my ignorance, but how does a players full salary not count towards the cap?

Must be missing something...

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

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.

also remember they will also be expiring contracts for that year

The average of the contract for the duration only hits the cap. So, it will count 8 mill per.
