As you know, in the NBA, with the post-lockout CBA, a big change was that non-tax teams can take up to 150% in incoming salary (as opposed to the regular 125%).
Now while matching salaries for a deal, I noticed that this actually works in the game as well, but it's not in our league CBA.
For example, in the game, I can deal Gasol's 19.3m salary to BOS, a non-tax team, for Millsap's 13m salary (13 x 1.5 = 19.5).
So how about we implement this as an official thing? Because:
a.) it's already in the game
b.) it rewards teams with good cap situations (usually rebuilding/young teams) by letting them take on more salary, giving more flexibility for deals, as in the real NBA
c.) gives actual incentive for teams to get under the luxury tax, making it more realistic

I like the idea. Was just curious why the game often said the salaries are matched and after recalculating the 125% I noticed salaries didnt work out.
Would make it way easier to get into the rebuild mode for teams like boston.
On Top it would be way more realistic. i would vote for it.

I'm for this. This is just another small incentive for teams to manage their cap situations better.

That's what I was thinking.

Wish this was already in place, seems obvious to me that it should be. Currently, the sim is weighted heavily in favor of lux tax teams.

Dylan and I have discussed this, and we agree, this is both in concurrence with the NBA CBA and is in the game and so it makes sense. It does not make sense to change rules mid-season though, so effective this offseason, teams over the cap but below the luxury tax line will be able to absorb 150% back in trades.

QQ on this - was Pau Gasol used as an example or will this rule actually allow a team like MIA to dump a contract like Gasol's on sucker GMs?

Starting this offseason haha. But how does this help our parity situation? It allows non-tax teams to take in more salary, thus more value/compensation/overall flexibility. |

It allows non-tax teams to take in more salary, thus more value/compensation/overall flexibility. But it also allows tax teams to get rid of contracts and not take equal $ value back... Well, if everybody thinks its a good idea then there is no point in having any discussions on this, is there? |
