The move

He is 22 years old and a rookie, with no NBA experience last season. No report was logged on this move before it appeared on the roster, so there is no preceding source or confidence level to cite. The transaction is confirmed only by the roster listing itself, with no trade or signing language attached to it yet.

The money

The league cap sits at $165.0 million, the tax line at $200.4 million, the first apron at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million. Where Holifield's number lands within that structure is not announced.
