Re: Woj: Rockets trying to move Thomas Robinson
I don't think hoopshype has the correct numbers. IIRC the cap hit for Asik and Lin should be their contract averaged out over the length of the deal. The numbers shown there are the cap hits that Chicago or New York would have had if they matched the offer sheets on each player. At least that's how I understood the poison pill provision when I read up on it.
On this site, http://www.storytellerscontracts.info/resources/Houston.htm, it shows Houston with a cap number of $45 mill not including Garcia's team option. With a projected cap just under $60 million they need to clear out $3-4 million in order to sign a guy to a max deal.
