Don't all SB prorations count on the salary cap, even if the player's salary doesn't?

I've been out of the loop lately but does this assume HT, Collins, Butler etc.. Have been signed?

They are signed

Yes but the time the draft class is signed 51st highest cap number should be at least $600,000 limiting the cap space lost as draft picks are signed.

What does that mean? Yes, they are "signed", but I don't think they have been extended past this final year of their contracts.

They are signed (for this year) but not extended (past their original rookie contract)

They should get rid of the draft picks, it will save them $500,000.

Maybe the league will find a reason to take them away. (?)

This was done before the trade for #60. And the trade for Bennett..

Does it even need a reason?

What is a 5/30 cap hit and what is a 9/10 cap hit?

@Miguel: I see what you're saying, but I think it'll take a bit more than $500K.

The players drafted in slots 91 and 96 will knock salaries of $600K off the roster, but the next two will knock players with SB prorations off the top 51 (Tre Jackson and Shaq Mason), and, as I understand it, only their salaries come off the cap, not the prorations.

For the record, the rule of thumb I've used is that it takes an amount roughly equal to the signing bonus prorations for every player drafted in the first four rounds (about $880K here).

All I can say is that my way has been accurate the last several years.

What is a 5/30 cap hit and what is a 9/10 cap hit?

After the draft pick he will count the 5/30 cap hist against the cap but if he makes the teams after the roster cutdowns he will count the 9/10 cap hit against the cap

Oh, those are DATES! Thanks. You can ignore my duplicate question in another thread.
