I'd say much lower. Haven't run numbers yet. RT @TLN24: Chances Houston gets Dwight after signing Asik and Lin?

So getting possibly getting Lin and Asik may screw the Wizard over hmmm.

What's the loophole?

Same thing they did with Asik

In the first year of the deal, Asik would make $5 million, followed by about $5.2 million in year two. That third year would pay the center over $14 million, however, which is what could force the team to balk. The loophole here is that the team offering the deal is allowed to average the cost over the life of the contract—$8 million a season in this case—but the team matching the deal has to count actual numbers against their cap. Chicago would be fine in years one and two, but year three would destroy them as repeat luxury tax offenders, which they could very well be by 2015.

The Knicks have acquired Raymond Felton and Kurt Thomas from Portland for Jared Jeffries and Dan Gadzuric, sources tell the Daily News
 
I can't believe the Knicks don't match. Everybody on the RealGM Knicks board said the poison pill didn't matter because Jeremy Lin was going to make Dolan twice that ($90 million a year!) for him just by being Asian.

EDIT: WTF how is Kurt Thomas still in the NBA. Is this like how there's two Isiah Thomases but one's evil?

After winning over the Asian community with Jeremy Lin, the Knicks now expect to win over fat people with Ray Felton.

Can't believe Marcus Camby and Kurt Thomas are back on the Knicks. Reliving that 99 run to the Finals!

Allan Houston could still probably play too.
 
Lin OK'd the offer sheet with the loaded third year which would make it hard for the Knicks to match so he obviously wanted out of NY. I don't blame him after the Kidd signing.

Cavs say Kyrie fractured hand by slapping the padding on gym wall at practice. Cavs say initial projection to return start of training camp.

Kyrie's pimp hand is still too underdeveloped.

He ain't bout dat life
