Should The Nba Get Rid Of Its Salary Cap

NBA Live 09 salary cap?

Salary cap is there to make teams even, basically. You can only spend so much bringing a player to your team.

Now you can cheat you way by going into NBA Live settings and changing the Cap Room option or you can keep trading and signing, resigning until you get a good team or one that you like.

How do the NBA Salary Caps and Hard Caps work in NBA 2k15?

Here is an example. Lets say the salary cap is 60 million, if the total player salaries are below 60 million you can sign any free agent with the amount of money you have in cap space. Cap space is how much money you can spend before reaching that 60 million. If you over 60 million you can only sign players to a minimum contract and the Mid level exception that you get once per year. The hard cap is the maximum you can spend on players. If you exceed the hard cap you cannot resign your players or sign free agents unless your roster was under 12 players.

Tips:
look for expiring contracts
rebuild around rookies and young players
trade veterans for cap space

Can anyone help me? salary cap for nba 2k8?

No, there is no way that you can get rid of the salary cap. Rosters would get obscenely good because you can offer a max contract to everybody. It would not be fair.

The trade override just lets the computer decide if the other team actually likes the trade or not. So either the computer will allow every trade that you give that meets the salary cap, or the computer will also scrutinize whether it helps the other team.So, if you kind of want to cheat, then just match up the salaries and the computer will allow it. If you want it more realistic, leave it alone, so the other teams can decide whther they think the trade helps them or not.

Why aren't all NBA teams equal, since there is the salary cap? Aren't the limitations the same for every team?

Theoretically yes, all teams are on even ground when it comes to cap space, but that doesn’t guarantee that those teams will spend their money wisely. Look at the Knicks, who signed Joakim Noah to a four-year, $73 million contract, and signed Tim Hardaway Jr to a four-year, $71 million contract that no other team in the league would dream of trying to match.That’s $71 million to a player they got rid of just two years earlier, a player whose career average is 11 ppg and brings absolutely nothing else to the table — not rebounding, not passing, not great defense.And Noah? He doesn’t even play. He’s appeared in a measly five games this season, averaging a whopping 1.5 ppg and 2 rebounds per game for his $18 million salary this year.In the case of the Knicks, it’s the same atrocious owner throwing the same absurd contracts at players no one else wants, saddling his team for years with onerous deals that will prevent them from drawing talented free agents in the offseason because they lack the cap space to build around a major FA.Compare that to teams like the Warriors and Spurs, whose players want to be part of a winning tradition so badly that they are willing to sacrifice money, minutes and individual stats to have a place on those teams. Ownership is a big part of it, not just in terms of decisions but also appeal to free agents. A player who goes to the Knicks, with their notoriously dysfunctional management and poor spending habits, only goes there for the money. A player who wants to win looks elsewhere.

How to get under the salary cap nba 2k13 association?

You have too many big contracts. You need to amnesty or trade some of those contracts and free up some cap space. For CP3, I would drop a couple of guards and make him a priority. I would't worry too much about DH12 because a lot of centers in the game play similar. For a center, I would go for Nikola Pecovic or Javale McGee if he is a free agent. Pretty good price and they get the job done. If you prefer DH12 over CP3 or still have no cap space for CP3 then I would sign Brandon Jennings or Jeff Teague and one of the two centers I mentioned.

How exactly does the NBA salary cap work? What do the mid-level, bi-annual and other exceptions mean?

The NBA salary cap is a set amount of money which a team can spend on their player's salaries. The League sets it at a different amount each year ($71.150 million for 2008-2009 season). If teams spend over the set amount on player salaries, they have to pay a luxury tax. They pay money to the League for going over the salary cap. Teams try to stay under the cap because going over it means paying not only your players' salaries but also the League.

A Mid-Level Exception is an exception to the Salary Cap rules. If you are over the cap or will go over it, teams can use the Mid-Level Exception ($5.585 million for 2008-2009) to sign one or more players. By using the Mid-Level Exception, they can go over the Salary Cap without having to pay the Luxury Tax.

The Bi-Annual Exception works the same way, except it can only be used once every two years. It's about $1 million and like the Mid-Level Exception, can be split amongst more than one player.

The Rookie Exception allows teams to sign their rookies to a set salary according to their draft position even if they go over the Salary Cap. This ranges from $5 million to a couple of hundred thousand dollars.

There's another exception that allows teams to sign veterans (players that have played with their team for 2 or more years) to 1.75 times their previous salary. Once again, this allows them to go over the Salary Cap without having to pay a Luxury Tax.

When trading, teams can trade freely if they begin and end under the Salary Cap. If they begin or end over the Salary Cap, they can only gain at most 1.25 times the salary they trade away plus $100,000, per trade.

Nba salary cap/luxury tax confusion?

At 58.1-69.9 you have a certain limit during trades that says you have to consume a certain percentage of the salary space going out in the trade with contracts/money coming in.

so for instance if the Heat are at 60 million and trade Lebron Lames to the Cavs (LOL) then the Cavs organization has to give the heat back (I think it's 75%) a percentage of Lebrons' salary back to the Heat at least.

It does restrict trades somewhat and gives you an incentive not to go over because you want to be able to unload a bad contract if you're doing something like the Magic are.

Also, mid level exception will be paid in luxury tax but not affect you 0-58 count. Your 58-70 count though it will.

edit: Also salary cap is paid by all owners/NBA, luxury tax is covered solely by the owners going over 58 for the amount they're going over.

Will NBA be more competitive if there is no salary cap on individual players?

Absolutely.Many max contract players are underpaid; all-NBA players have teams lining up to sign them, but since no one can pay more than the max, the best players sign with teams that can offer something in addition to money.And you don't win anything without an all-NBA player.What do players all-NBA players want? It varies, but almost all of them want to be on a well-run team that can compete for a championship.Who would sign with a hot mess like the Kings when there are well-run, competitive teams like the Warriors that can offer the same money?But if the there wasn't a limit? Well, then the Kings can offer Durant the $40 million/year he's worth, rather than the $25 million that a max contract allows. So would a dozen other teams.Thr Warriors would struggle to match that - they've got too many other good players to pay. Maybe they offer $32 million/year.And at that point, it becomes a tough decision.Right now, most all-NBA players would only sign with teams that are already competitive. Take away the salary ceiling, and the pool up teams that have a chance of signing grows.The Kings are still out, though. Ain't no one got time for that nonsense.
