As I understand it, only free agents count for 3x their previous salary. When they sign a new contract, the value from that contract is used. So Martell would tie up a lot of money while he's FA, but once he agreed to play for the qualifying offer, it's his QO amount that would then count against the cap.
I don't think anyone will be signed to a qualifying offer. Instead, the Blazers will try to negotiate a new multi-year contract with anyone they want to keep. So Portland could sign Martell to a contract starting at reasonable amount (e.g. 3 million), and then have room for a big free agent.
Nice job putting all the salary info together by the way.

Thanks
I'm constantly amazed at how easily one can whip together this kind of stuff on a spreadsheet.
But it probably doesn't matter. It's not like there's going to be any good free agents in 2009.

If Miles were to retire, it would be due to medical reasons. We would get exceptions for the cap and luxury tax. As said, it benefits the team as well as Miles. Getting paid in full now is worth alot more than in payments over the next two years, if that is how the buyout of his contract is negotiated.

My point was that Miles' retirement is not enough to trigger the salary coming off the cap--the league has to approve the retirement and agree that he can never play again in order for the exception to be granted. It isn't automatic.

Very true. Heck, that could be why Stern was in town. To verify everything was legit. Doubtful, but possible.

If he announces his retirement, I believe a portion of his remaning salary from this season and the full amount for next season comes off the books for the Blazers as insurance will kick in.
