The cap hit is the biggest risk going forward, but are they over now with his salary or just really close? Anyway, I thought that the cap only applied during the season anyway - you can go over as long as you fix it by the start of the regular season. And then I think they can buy him out.

The League did agree, but I'm talking about if the Termination is grieved and the decision reversed.
Secondly, Lombardi acknowledged that they were close on 2 potential trades at the draft that he had to cancel because he learned of whatever Richards did.
And lastly, you are allowed to exceed the cap in the summer but only by 5% I think. Something like that, I may have the numbers wrong, and the Kings are basically right at it.
