AdamJT13;3224866 said:If there's no cap this season, no players -- cut or not -- will count against the cap. But if the cap returns in the next CBA and 2011, 2012, etc., those cut players will still count against the cap, unless all of the rules change (which is unlikely).
AdamJT13;3226937 said:Before June 2, the prorations remain in each season. Starting June 2, the 2010 proration stays the same, and everything else counts against 2011.
So, yes, teams can save money by cutting players and not paying their salaries and bonuses this season. But they'll still have some dead money in future seasons, if the cap comes back.

If teams wait till after June 2nd, the cap hit is split between this year and next.
If there is no cap in 2010, how would releasing a player before June 2nd create dead money in 2011 if the cap comes back???
