Add another $324,000 in dead money to next year's salary cap.
Eric Pincus, Basketball Insiders cap guru, reports that amount is what Andrea Bargnani's buyout will add to the Nets salary cap in 2016-17. Bargnani was one of four Nets who signed guaranteed two year deals with a player option last summer. He asked for a buyout last week. Here''s how Pincus says the buyout was broken down.

The amount, precisely $323,599, will be added to the team's other "dead money" -- the stretched buyout Deron Williams received during the summer.
