Duane Washington Jr., a Klutch client, needed a buyout. He was included in the three-team swap with the T-Wolves and Hornets, among three players the Knicks signed-and-traded to make the salaries match and confirm the mathematical equation. For Washington Jr., the reward was a roughly $2.2 million guaranteed salary and an opportunity to revive his NBA dream with the Hornets. Since the Knicks were unable to aggregate players on minimum contracts, they found a loophole by signing Washington Jr. and the two other players — Charlie Brown Jr. and DaQuan Jeffries — to just $1 above the minimum, as first reported by The Athletic.

TNT’s view of the NBA negotiations basically comes down to it believes it was Charlie Brown and the NBA was Lucy, moving the football at the last moment whenever a deal was close. The NBA looks at it differently and was prepared to never give NBC the opportunity if the TNT numbers were right. A judge will have a say about how it all works or maybe the parties will settle for some sort of rights and/or financial package.
