I don´t know what happens, when you agree to the super-max extension before next summer. Does that automatically mean the new super-max salary eliminates the caphold, although the extension itself doesn´t start until 2022/2023? Also can you basically have a handshake agreement now, but not make it official until next summer (signature) to stay at the caphold?
That is a pretty significant question, since it´s $15M in capspace we are talking about.
It won’t be the cap hold. Luka is agreeing to a contract this summer that will kick in next season. It is a percentage of the cap number, so the exact amount won’t be determined until the cap is set. You can look at Tatum from the prior year draft class and see that his 25% of the cap max is already estimated in Boston’s salaries for the 21/22 salary. The difference is Luka gets 30% instead of 25%.
