Best preview of the Nets you will read

[cpawfan]

You are correct about the two-year min salary. However, it would not apply to CDR as he is a draft pick, and it's his actual 1st year salary that will count towards the luxury tax, which the Nets will probably not cross for a few reasons, one of which is Ratner will not permit it.

Coon is talking about first round picks. As it is possible for late first round picks to be under the 2 yr min if they accept a contract at 80% of scale.

Also, as to 2nd round picks being signed for the Vets' Min, you are incorrect.

No, it happens all of the time. Second round picks have no cap hold on a team before they are signed to a contract unlike first round picks. All a second round pick does is give a team exclusive negotiating rights with a player who is otherwise like a free agent in the league's eyes.

A Vets' Min contract can only be for a maximum of two years. 2nd round picks can be signed for 3 years (or maybe even longer. Of that I'm not sure), as CDR has.

Second round picks can be signed for any length of time between 1 year and 5 years. Yes, if a second round pick signs a contract longer than 2 years (which I forgot CDR did) then it would require using cap space or MLE or BAE.

OMG, Kerber was actually correct about something (even though he had no clue as to why).

Coon says 'draft picks', not 'first round draft picks'

I read the actual CBA before I read Coon. The CBA is specifically talking about players playing for minimum contracts. First round draft picks don't play for min contracts.

I just read the CBA and it reads 'a rookie (but not a 2nd rd pick), or a player with one years service'.
