I'm pretty sure NBA rules require he be paid all of that sum, unless his new team is willing to pick up all/part of it, which would seem unlikely.

Screw a buyout. Sit his ass on the bench and trade him next year when someone wants a guy in the final year of his contract.

His contract would still count against the cap until his contract is over(I believe there's one year left on it after this year).

if snow accepts a buyout, the final year of his contract is off the books.

AV will still be in the same situation with the Cavs if he doesn't play this year. If he takes any sort of one year deal (pro-rated or not) he's an UFA next year.

edit: the final year of his contract still counts against the cap, but not the luxury tax. so, buying out snow would be stupid.

The Magic's Dwight Howard drives past the Cavaliers' Zydrunas Ilgauskas during the third quarter. Howard had a career-high 35 points and 16 rebounds.



CLEVELAND -- LeBron James heard the whistle and figured he was headed to the free throw line.
He got there. Just not to shoot.
Driving down the lane in the final seconds of overtime, James was tied up by Orlando's Hedo Turkoglu for a game-ending jump ball as the Magic, paced by Dwight Howard's 35 points and 16 rebounds, remained unbeaten on the road with a 117-116 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers last night.
Howard made two free throws with 5.8 seconds left in OT to put the Magic up by one. After a timeout, James, who finished with 39 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds, took the inbounds pass at the top of the key and quickly drove past Keith Bogans.

I was just checking the box score to see what Hughes did. Pathetic. The fact that Brown let's this shit continue is a fucking joke.

Glad I didn't watch it.

the fact that damon jones was hurt and sasha has been equally inept is why hughes still continues to log minutes. hopefully that trend soon slows.

I was wrong. That loud thud you just heard was Larry Hughes hitting rock bottom. He's now out at least 4 weeks with a bruised leg. No word from the team if he's also suffering from a bruised ego.

Cavaliers swat 12 shots in victory over Jazz

The Cavaliers called in the swat team on Friday.
They blocked a season-high 12 shots, including six by center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, in their 99-94 victory over the Utah Jazz.
All-Star forward LeBron James was sensational once again with 40 points - including 34 in the second half, which tied the franchise record - 10 rebounds, nine assists and three blocks.
Perhaps the biggest defensive stop of the game came with 11.4 seconds left and the Cavs clinging to a 94-92 lead.

James all that, Jazz flat

by Branson Wright, Plain Dealer Reporter Saturday November 17, 2007, 7:21 AM

Surprisingly, LeBron James has been a footnote compared to the Boston Celtics and their Big Three and an afterthought when it comes to the success of many other All-Stars in recent weeks.
Despite the rash of injuries and a contract holdout that have depleted the Cavaliers' lineup, James continues to thrive.
His impact continued Friday night behind a memorable second half that included timely scoring, great passing and some impres sive defense that led to a 99-94 victory over the Utah Jazz at The Q.
The victory by the Cavs (5-5) stopped a five-game winning streak by the Jazz (7-3) and avenged a last-second loss against the Jazz in Utah last week.
