It is the team trading away the player that is responsible for paying the bonus — unless the contract was signed prior to the 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement (Toronto Raptors’ Amir Johnson and Cleveland Cavaliers’ Anderson Varejao), which is then paid by the acquiring franchise.
well that's good.
I'm sure Dolan would be pissed if they re-signed him just to play 2 months here and had to paid the $17 mil trade kicker though.
????
Dolan is the one who pays it
Right, and that's why I'm saying he'd be pissed.
These two awful months with Melo would cost him an additional $17 mil
The other thing is you pay $17 mil but then that gets you out from having to pay the total $124 or whatever it is...So its not too bad a sell, Id imagine.
The team that takes him on has to pay the kicker
This is why team's ask if a player will waive it to do a trade
The only possibly drawback is trying to go even steven on a deal dollar for dollar[another Kicker dude]
Then in that case it could be like taking back $17mil in addition
Take for instance as in what took place in the Raptors-Knicks trade which I had no freakin idea
Holy Rank Buckets this trade was Violently Wretched//////

Toronto to New York
Andrea Bargnani
5% - added $1,162,500 to 2013/14 salary.
lol @ Bargs banking an additional $1.2mil last year just because he exist
No, we are obligated to pay the kicker, not the receiving team. It is a lump sum payment at the time of the trade made by the Knicks, not a running expense added to the contract at the new destination.
This must have changed in the new CBA
Or maybe I'm confused in how the kicker is applied
Hey I was wrong about how the amount was calculated so this would
Only make the deal so much more worse as we've already given this jerk everything under the sun
But I was going from a source back in the day
This link says the Kicker follows the team in transaction

1. Garnett only has a limited ability to waive his trade kicker. He can't just waive it to make a trade easier -- even if he wanted to -- no matter what you've heard or read. The rules state that Garnett only can waive the amount necessary to make a deal legal based on salary-cap rules.So how would this work in real life?
Garnett's salary for next season is $22 million and the trade kicker is $6.75 million, meaning that Boston would have to accommodate $28.75 million in salary and send out at least $22.92 million in a trade if Garnett is to receive the full bonus.
The trade includes the following five Celtics for a total of $18,921,547: Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff, Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair and Ryan Gomes. Boston can only take back $23,751,934 in salary, meaning Garnett would have to consent to waiving nearly $5 million of his trade kicker … $4,998,066 to be exact.
Garnett's take-home trade bonus would thus be reduced to $1,751,934. But the assumption is that he would more than make that back in the long-term extension he's expected to receive from the Celtics as part of this extravaganza.
Not in case in this Garnett example it's saying Sota would pay the $1.75mil bonus and not Boston
It still affected Boston on meeting the TPE minimum requirements dollar wise
All-in-All Melo's deal so awful only Phil's $60mil
Allows him to sleep at night because Rodman feels so assured Phil is miserable right now
