If the team and the player honour the deal even though if the subsequent year suggests the agreed upon contract is now ludicrous, it would be cap circumvention. Proving it would be very difficult I admit.
But it takes a few people lie about it.
If KK gets a 30-30-60 season, does he still sign a 6 year $3M deal?
I doubt it. They may have agreed on a deal in principle, but both sides understand that the subsequent year could very well change things.
If both sides have the clear intention to honour that deal regardless, that is cap circumvention,
