Not sure about the rules around this but with Klay’s contract negotiations. . . Hypothetically he signs a team friendly contract. Why couldn’t the Lacobs have a handshake agreement, they’ll employ him in some sort of ambassadorial/marketing job in one of their other companies once he retires and just give him millions?
It’s explicitly against the CBA to offer any sort of inducement other than the player salary as a way to circumvent the cap. Period.
