Salary cap

[edit]
"This rule is in addition to the obvious fact that teams cannot exceed the salary cap through trades, either."
This line is bogus I think. Plenty of teams have exceeded the salary cap further through trades. 24.151.131.65 07:58, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

jk?

I revamped the line, more because of its tone than its content, though. Teams previously below the cap can't go over because of trades, and teams already over have to almost-match incoming with outgoing salaries, which slows the rate at which their payroll can rise above the cap.

(From Larry Coon) I did some fixing of the trade rules and BYC, which were incorrect. I also did some clean-up of the bi-annual exception, since it didn't make sense to title it after what it used to be called. This entire article needs a lot more work, and I'll see if I can get to it when I get some free time. I'd encourage anybody who wants to edit this page to at least send me an e-mail to check facts. My address can be found in the NBA Salary Cap FAQ, which is linked to by this article. 128.200.190.55 18:20, 25 April 2007 (UTC) Larry Coon[reply]


The wording is not so clear on the Mid-Level Exemption. Is it one player per season? Or can they sign one player to the $5-6 million MLE and then sign another one the next day?


There is a conflict between the opening paragraphs and a chart later in the article. It says the cap for 09-10 is 57.7 million and then the chart for 09-10 says it is 60.7 the correct amount is 57.7 million. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.228.74.69 (talk) 02:09, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Similar to the above, must be a typo at the top where it says the 07-08 cap is US$92.63 million, clearly in conflict with the chart near the bottom.MKale (talk) 21:26, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Max Salary

[edit]

Rules not clear. Is it the greater or lesser of those two numbers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.85.252 (talk) 04:20, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Update after 2011 lockout needed

[edit]

Updated information is needed based on new agreement from 2011 NBA lockout.—Bagumba (talk) 10:23, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The link which states the repeat luxury tax has to be paid on teams who are over the threshold for 4 out of 5 seasons is wrong. It is paid on 3 out of 4 seasons. It's pretty common knowledge, but some links:

http://www.masslive.com/celtics/index.ssf/2013/06/nbas_luxury_tax_projections_co.html http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1457745-how-nbas-luxury-tax-penalties-will-impact-elite-teams

None of those are really authoritative (but about.com is definitely wrong!) I changed the text without changing the source for now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bullblade (talk • contribs) 00:22, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

[edit]
Resolved
 – Split CBA text to NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement.—Bagumba (talk) 23:53, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Should this article be the NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement, as the salary cap is part of the CBA and not visa versa?

I split the CBA text to NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement, which was previously a redirect to NBA salary cap.—Bagumba (talk) 23:53, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Larry Bird Exception

[edit]

There are multiple articles throughout the internet that claim that the Larry Bird Exception was never used on Larry Bird. This wiki contradicts the other sources. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.192.72.128 (talk) 11:48, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Needs updating to 2016

[edit]

This article needs serious updating, which I am not qualified to do. It could also discuss what Tier 3, etc are. Bellagio99 (talk) 22:16, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

majority of leagues?

[edit]

This "The majority of leagues (NFL, NHL, MLS)" is not only US-centric but ignores existence of hundreds of different sport leagues in North America, or thousands across the globe.
