This is a league poll for public opinion on this matter, NOT confirming a rule change.
Details:
Buyouts should be (at min) one year less than original contract with 50% of the buyout for the 1st year then rest of buyout managed by owner's discretion.
Ex: Player's A contract is $20/4 ($100 TS)
- $50 buyout that must be spread within three years cause of the four-year contract.
- $25 must be in the first year of the three-year buyout.
- The rest of the $25 must be spread between the remaining two years (owner's discretion).
Examples of a three-year buyout (last two years owner’s discretion): $25/$20/5.. $25/$7/$18.. $25/$1/$24
- One-year contracts would stay one year buyout.
- With this buyout, two-year contract could reduce to one year buyout.
Buying out contracts should always be an option, yet there should be a con of these buyouts as they can set the market and (as a high-priced contract) can be marginalized into a one-year buyout without any lengthy repercussions. This would increase the cap relief trading value (for receiving teams) and let teams manage their buyouts (in the backend of the buyout) freely.
