What I take out of it is that going into luxury tax does not automatically equal being hard capped
We are just under the luxury tax amount, which means we are at least 4mil away from being hard capped
I think Jrue's incentives might be part of what might trigger the hard cap for us. I read that you have to assume they will all be met when calculating remaining cap space. Because you never hear anyone say we have ~4 mil in room, only a couple hundred thousand.
Harder to suss out than woman, the NBA CBA is
