Kahn attempts to explain Gomes' buyout. The fun begins at the 1 minute mark. For those of you paying attention, Webster is on the books for $4.344 mil before July 1st compared to Gomes' $3.982 mil. How much is the buyout? Even if it's a cool mil, the slotted salary at 16 + Gomes' buyout is less than Webster's deal. Looking forward, this trade costs them more cap space in future years. Kahn is very clearly referencing 2010 off-season cap space. He is correct in saying there will be some savings on this front. He's probably referring to a number in the $500,000-$2 mil range. Is that number absolutely necessary for the team's off season plans? We'll find out. After all, signing Darko is going to take some coin.
