over the cap. Depending on the amount you go over the cap the penalty gets bigger and bigger from what I understood.....they were saying 70 million and that was before talk of Joe Johnson.

If the Cavaliers get Joe Johnson, they will be 100MM over the luxury tax cap.

So they could still lose 75MM+ as a franchise this year.

As a Cavs fan, I hope they do not get Joe Johnson

I tend to agree. With Love and Kyrie, Shumpert is a better fit

If they get Johnson, they can let go of JR Smith

Disagree, but that's not the point. Is this Spence Checketts?
