    Say the Rockets wave Hakeem and Miami picks him up. Do they sign him for some type of 1-2M exception for the remainder of the year, or is that a calander year, or is that for next year too? If it includes next year, and Zo returns, can you imagin the two of them on the floor on the same team, at the same time?

    The Heat would pay a prorated vets minimum for the remainder of the season. Anything for future season(s) would have to negotiated for this summer and would need to meet normal salary cap guidelines.

    Unless I see otherwise, he counts at the vet's mininum against the Heat Salary cap if he is waived by Houston.
