Cap Explanation
Like the NBA we'll be having a soft cap. Unlike the NBA we are also having a hard cap, as we can't mimic the luxury tax.
The hard cap is set at $85m. You must not exceed the hard cap at any time. Period. This is the hard cap, no exceptions allowed.
The soft cap is set at $65m. After this you're options become limited.
First, any trades that take you or another team over the cap must meet the 125% rule.
Exceptions
Secondly, you can only sign free agents using an exception. You can sign rookies with the rookie exception, and other players to the $1m league minimum, or use one of your exceptions. You alse have a mid level exception (MLE) worth $5m which you can use. We aren't using Bi-annual and low level exceptions.
Another exception you can use to go over the soft cap is the Larry Bird exception. The player in question must have played three seasons without being waived or changing teams as a free agent. Traded players have their bird rights traded with them.
RimRocker Salary Cap
Salary cap is $65 million and will increase $2 million a year. Hard cap is set at $85m. See the Salary Cap rules for more details
Season 1: $65,000,000
Season 2: $67,000,000
Season 3: $69,000,000
Season 4: $71,000,000
It is your responsibility to ensure you understand this, that your team's salary situation is in order at any given time. When making trades with other teams check their salaries yourself and not simply assume their listed salaries are correct. I have better things to do than check everyone's salary threads, trade threads, etc. are correct, and if you screw up and go over the hard cap we'll hit you and your team with a large stick.
