April 14: Asked when he'll be making his debut he smirked and then said "If you're comparing how I feel now to last year, I'm ready to go."
Yet he didn't play the 2 remaining regular season games as they'd need to be cap compliant for that to happen. |
What does the CBA say about this, though? If you have a player on LTIR but can't make the necessary roster moves to be cap compliant, it simply says that the player can't be activated.
Now, Article 26 says that the Commissioner can impose fines based on perceived cap circumvention for any reason so there could still be issues, but I don't see any direct provisions of what if a team does have a healthy player coming off LTIR but doesn't have the means to activate them due to cap issues. It simply says player can't play.
