Dwyane Wade buyout

[RyanFitzmagic]

I had the same issue with Carmelo to the Thunder, where I need to manually make the move since I'm in a MyLeague and already did a ton of edits. This one is a little more complicated, since Wade and the Bulls agreed to a buyout. The Cavaliers don't have nearly enough cap room for the 1 year, $23M contract Wade had with Chicago, and they could only sign him because of the buyout. I can't figure out how to do this in MyLeague.

Here's an article for more details:

Can’t you release him and sign him as a FA?

The Cavs just News 2.3 mill and in order to do so, they will make two moves by renouncing a non guranteed contract and by later trading a guaranteed one. It was refered to within the ESPN article.

That was the first thing I tried, but I think it told me that the Cavs don't have enough cap room to sign him for anything beyond the minimum.

Wade s minimun is 2.3 mil

My guess is in your MyLeague, edit his contract with the Bulls to whatever the Bulls agreed to buy his contract out for, that way its listed correctly in the books. Then a day or two later (i think signing him immediately would take his contract off of Chicago's books) edit his contract amount to 2.3 and sign him to Cleveland. Could be wrong but thats what I would try off the top of my head.

Right, but the minimum I mentioned was $790K or so I think. Can't remember the exact number.

How far from the hard cap is the payroll, currently ?
