I believe it’s this year since it’s the last year of the current CBA.I thought there was no June first designation this year? Or is that next year?
Unless a new CBA is agreed upon by the deadline (which I’m not sure when it is, maybe the new league year?) then I think any cap charges from releases/trades have to be entirely taken on this coming season and not spread out across two seasons like a normal year.
If they allow teams to use the June 1st system like a normal season and then there’s a lockout in 2021, then those teams would only be on the hook of having half the dead money count against their cap.
