RimRockers Salary Chart Construction Tutorial
*The following explains in-depth on how to construct your salary chart correctly.
As a RimRocker General Manager it's important for you to have a correct salary chart, no one wants to make a trade with you only to discover the process is blocked because you have displayed incorrect information. You also wont be able to re-sign players or be active in free agency unless your salary details are correct. We will be very strict about this & there will be no bending of the rules for anyone. This thread explains how to construct your salary chart.
Step 1 | Finding Your Players
NBA Legends has been around for awhile now. Since then there have been lots of trades and players have ended up on completely different teams. Fortunately, the toughest thing about completing your salary chart will be to find them in our list of teams shown below. It's important to note that you will be looking for the team which the player played for when NBA Legends started, which was in July of 2007. Information regarding which team that player played for around that time can be found from any good website as listed at the bottom. All you do is find the player , example Chris Bosh, and find his salary which would be under Toronto Raptors, click the link and it will lead you to the full roster of the raptors salary.

Step 2 | Constructing Your Salary Chart
Once you've found each of your players, it's then important to display them properly. Just take a look at how other teams have displayed their salary threads as a reference
It is important to include:
*The salary for each player for every year that they're contracted.
*Your team's total salary (which you must compute yourself with a calculator, or in your head if you're a REALLY good GM!).
Step 3 | How To Deal With Player Options, Team Options, & Qualifying Offers
Your players contracts are not always just simply comprised of their salary, they can also contain different types of contractual options. In our league we are only concerned with one: Team Options.
If one of your players has a Team Option (highlighted in Red) in one of their contract years you must include this information in your salary chart, preferably by coloring that year's contract in red numbering.
VERY IMPORTANT - All player options (highlighted in Red) are to be converted into team options.
VERY IMPORTANT - All qualifying offers (highlighted in yellow) should be eliminated completely. We will not be using qualifying offers at all in this league. Posting them will falsify your players actual contract and could cause confusion when it comes to free agency.
Player Option- TURNS INTO TO TEAM OPTION
Team Option- RED
Qualifying Offer - Turns into RFA
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only players that will have Player Options in their contracts in this league are those who have been re-signed by our own GMs after the league began. If that has happened then you'll need to include a Player Option in your salary chart and denote it by coloring that year's contract in blue numbering in your salary chart.
