you can't look at cash spent and somehow equate it to the salary cap
that might be the most worthless thing ive seen on pft in awhile
Its kinda important. Since its actually the money going out the door. Shows actual commitment and not phony inflated contract numbers.Quote:

well, the contracts of adams and linsley were both done before the start of the new league year, so their signing bonuses would have counted under the money spent for the current yearQuote:

so theres 26 million in cash spent right there
yeah, but i don't get the point of comparing cash spent to the cap number like PFT is trying to doQuote:

Its important for two reasons, though only one have to do with comparisons to the cap:
1. The CBA specifies certain percentage of cap has to actually be spent in cash each year.
2. Cap numbers can disappear (they can also linger as dead money). Cash spent is paying for the team you have, not the contracts you constructed.
I think PFT leaves out a few personnel maneuvers that affect cash vs. cap beyond pro-rated bonuses.
that's weird. the other day i read they rolled over $9m left over from last year.
thats because cash spent has nothing to do with cap spaceQuote:
