Cap Philadelphia
Why are expiring contracts good?
I dont get this idea at all. Like for example, the Philadelphia 76'ers want to trade Andre Iguodala(arguably a top 20 player in the NBA) for a old slumping guy on the Rockets, Tracy McGrady, because T-Mac has a $23 million expiring contract.
Isn't this a lose-lose for the 6'ers b/c they lose their best player, get a terrible player and add $23 million to their cap...MAKES ZERO sense to me.
Expiring contracts are good because they are an easy way to shed team payroll and "rebuild" for the future. In the case of Iggy, the 76ers view him as a really good player, but he's making over 68 million dollars over the next 5 years (around $13 mil a year). They are committed to paying him that money, and unable to spend it anywhere else, as long as he is on the team.
Here's where T-Mac comes in. He is making also twice as much as Iggy this season, but in the final season of his contract. When the season is over, the 76ers are cleared of both McGrady and Iggy's contract, saving them around $45 million. They can then use that money to attract top free agents or sign draft picks.
Whether or not it is a SMART move is up for debate, but that is the 76ers mindset regarding the Iggy-for-McGrady trade rumors.
