60 Day rule change

Sorry Nuggets, I thought I split your post from the topic, I guess I deleted it.

Anyway, here was my reply
Yes, that is correct.

Based on this rule in the original CBA:

In addition, teams cannot trade players under the following circumstances:

    * For two months after receiving the player in trade, if the player is being traded in combination with other players.  However, the team is free to trade the player by himself (not packaged with other players) immediately.  This two-month restriction applies only to teams over the salary cap.

So what have you changed?

So if I'm reading it right, the 60 day rule for traded players breaks down like this:


Teams Over the Cap

Can trade player x (who was acquired via trade) before 60 days are up as long as player x is the only player traded out


Teams Under the Cap
Can trade player x at any time after acquiring him via trade


Is that right?

This is what I wrote (had copied it earlier, so I was able to paste it here).  Seems like that's a potentially huge advantage for teams under the cap, with the ability to serve as a quasi-broker.

The bolded part is new.

Hmm..that changes everything.

Big benefit to staying under the cap.

Well, at least a minor benefit.
But, since everyone in the past has just signed players to crazy contracts to get over the cap and use the MLE and LLE, now there is a benefit to staying under the cap.

That MLE thing has bugged me ever since this started... lol

Yeah, true. There are only usually 1-2 teams that stay under tha cap for a year.
