The league already has said it will not allow a team to agree to pay Bryant even if he were in jail. "We would not approve a contract that said, 'Even if you're convicted of this crime, we will pay you,' " Brian McIntyre, a league spokesman, told the N.Y. Times earlier this week.

So, if Kobe is convicted of sexual assault, his team won't have to pay his contract and it won't count against the cap.
