<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>futurehofer</b></div><div>The cap recapture penalty is the accrued cap advantage divided by the years remaining on his contract. The only way his recapture penalty would equal his cap hit in any year would be if the was traded (thus freezing the advantage) and retired when the penalty would otherwise be more than his cap hit. Bored, your numbers are assuming the cap advantage does not decrease as his salary dips below his cap hit which is incorrect.

Here's the breakdown of recapture penalties based on the year he retires, all assuming he isn't traded:

Summer 2021 - $5.04 million for 4 years ($20.154 million cap advantage)
Summer 2022 - $6.21 million for 3 years ($18.615 million cap advantage)
Summer 2023 - $6.54 million for 2 years ($13.077 million cap advantage)
Summer 2024 - $6.54 million for 1 year ($6,538 million cap advantage)
Summer 2025 (end of contract) - $0 ($0 cap advantage)

If you want the rules for cap recapture, it's in Article 50.5 of the 2013 CBA. The amendment in the MOU from last summer just prevents something like a $20.154 million single year cap penalty if he were to be traded and retire elsewhere with 1 year left on his deal. It doesn't fundamentally change the recapture penalty in scenarios where the accrued cap advantage divided by years remaining on the contract would be less than the cap hit as would be the case in any year if he is not traded.</div></div>

You’re correct. These are numbers if he were traded this offseason and retired at some point before the end of his contract.
