I'm not sure, but I think the difference is Strickland had a buyout written
into his contract that voids the rest of the deal. So they can buy him out
and get him off the cap. Alexander had no such clause in his contract. The
Nuggets just bought him out to be rid of him (apparently he was becoming a
real problem in the lockerroom). That was my understanding, anyway.

I think if Shawn Kemp or Juwon Howard can be traded (and for quite good
returns I
must say), then Kenny Anderson, earning relatively lesser and with just 2
more
years on his contract, must be tradeable.


I like to ask a "stupid" question:

how come the Wizards is talking about buying out Rod Strickland's choking
contract

it doesn't help at all in the cap situation (for the wizards), isn't it? 

I am looking at the case of Cory Alexander who was bought out (or was he
waived?)
for 9mil, but I think the Nuggets still has his salary (about 2.5mil per)
counted
against the cap for the duration of the contract (which had 5 or 6 year
remaning)

anybody can solve my headache?
