How Paul Allen's money can really help in free agency this summer

[RR7]

Wait, aren't signing bonuses capped at a certain % for RFA in the new CBA? I wanna say 10%, but I could be wrong....probably am. But if that's the case, offering Hibbert, lets say 40 million over 4 years to keep math simple (a necessity for me) we could only front load the contract 4 million...right?

yes at 10%. At 4 year 40 million, it'd be roughly 4, but with a declining contract, it leads to a salary over 14 for that first season. Payable immediately, if desired, which is possible, but just more difficult for many teams.

Bumped given the news that it is Hibbert.

It will be interesting to see how the Blazers structured the offer for Hibbert if he accepts it. This could be a major deciding factor on if the Pacers match.
