Backtracking ... for a season
Okay, quick mea culpa. As reader David Gersvovitz gently pointed out, my fantasy trade where Bosh goes to the Lakers and the Raptors get Andrew Bynum, can't really work because Bynum is a base year compensation player because he signed an extension on his rookie deal that kicks in this coming season. The BYC is complicated little bit of salary cap-ese and I'm not about to try and unravel it (but please go to this link http://members.cox.net/lmcoon/salarycap.htm#Q73 if you of the mind) other than to say the deal would have to massive, unworkable and require the Raptors to take back a bunch of bad contracts to make it work. So forget I mentioned it until next year when the Lakers and Raptors do a sign-and-trade, book it!
