Sign and trade Boogie to the Wiz for Porter????
Thank you Dell for giving us a beast in Randall who can post up and not scared to play hard in the paint.....
Well we just hard cap ourselves.
Can one of you cap gurus please explain this. LA "renounced the rights" to Randle, freeing up cap room. Is that a fancy way of saying they released him? And if so, why can't NO use this for Ajinca? Or is it because Randle was on a rookie deal?
A player that is at the end of his contract still has his bird rights with the team he was on until he signs somewhere else. By renouncing the rights to Randle that means the Lakers do not have the ability to go over the cap to sign him. In the case of Randle he was at the end of his rookie contract which means by keeping his rights the Lakers could match any offer given to him. By renouncing his rights he became an unrestricted free agent.

Now that I've had time to think through this transaction - it has to be the full non-tax MLE for Randle. There is no mechanism that the Pels could have used to sign and trade Rondo at that number. Must just be a straight signing for the MLE.
Cousins is gone. We don’t sign Randle with Davis, Cousins, and Niko.
Thanks for clearing that up Myth. Now, I also read recently that NO still has a usable trade exception from the Qpon deal. How could the come into play?
IncarceratedBob says Boogie to the Lakers is a done deal. For those who don’t know, he’s pretty reliable.
I hate everything.
As @jgsiegel noted, cap holds don't count towards the apron. Therefore, the Pelicans do NOT have to renounce Boogie, and can still keep him for anything below ~$18.75M (after cutting Okafor & Liggins).
If they trade or stretch Ajinca, that number goes up even further.
