    Because in terms of the CBA and how much tax he pays , the only date that matters is the last day of the league year.

    If you are under the tax on that date …. you are free of tax implications. If you are over the tax on that date … pay up.


    If they cut him now or buy him out that salary is etched in stone into their books for the year. It would be stupid to do this.

    If they wait and trade him … they can rid themselves of the cost.

    I barely can remember when Carmelo was on the Rockets. Was that a dream? Honestly, it feels like it was LAST SEASON.

    What a turn of events.

    I wonder how Melo feels about being told that Clark was playing over him to let him go because of thay and then that doesn’t even happen.
