Glad Whicker/JLash started another time honored tradition in BDL. The Double (or Triple, Quadruple) Down.

Once the trade deadline is over you can start using that leftover cap space to clear spots on your roster for the next year.

As long as the players get paid the remaining amount on their contracts it's golden. They get put back in the FA pool next year and aren't considered any type of FA for your team the following year. It's done that way to prevent weird contract manipulation or shady trade deals.

These Double Downs are auto approved just like Sub $500 cuts etc.

The double down is a thing of beauty if you got the space.

So how would double downs work for guys who have 3 years remaining. Cut down to 2 or 1?

If you wanted to cut it down to 1 I'm assuming you'd have to triple the current salary. I don't think you can cut from 3 to 2.

Wouldn't you split the cost of the salary between the two years?

I honestly don't know. I don't think I've ever seen anyone cut from 3 to 2. What's the point of cutting a 3 year into a 2 year right now? You might as well carry the lower salary through most of next year and then double down them.
