Salary Cap for Dummies: Hood, Curry, and Kanter

You practically need a law degree and MBA to understand all the nuances of the NBA’s arcane salary cap rules. I have neither so, naturally, I’ve compiled an FAQ about the salary implications of the Trail Blazers deadline moves for Enes Kanter and Rodney Hood.

My pledge is that, in place of expertise, I can offer the most easily decipherable summary of salary cap implications on the Internet. Here we go.

Before signing Kanter, trading Rodney Hood for Nik Stauskas and Wade Baldwin, and swapping Caleb Swanigan for Skal Labissiere the Blazers had a total salary this season of $131,638,624.
