I'm thinking of implementing a new rule, a hard salary cap in which you cannot go over (i.e. no signings or trades can put you over). Something like either 2x the salary cap or 100 million. If I would implement this it would be something like 2-3 years after we agree on it before it would be implemented to give teams time to get under the limit. Thoughts?

I like that idea. It adds a much bigger strategy element, which is a good thing.

Speaking as the team with the highest payroll, I am all for it.
By the way, my salary = $121,489,489

Quick question:
If the salary cap is set for the beginning of the year, how will this impact signings during the year? (since cut players salaries factor into the entire salary total)

(since cut players salaries factor into the entire salary total) The salary would be set at any point in the year. At no point would you be allowed to go over the hard cap, cut salaries would be included in that total (and obviously come off after the playoffs when salaries roll over). |

Well...personaly i don't agree. I think we should have the same rules as the real NBA.
But if everyone agrees ok then.

I like the idea, it would prevent teams to just signing guys to max deals to keep them and it may end up devaluing the expiring contract which can get you almost anybody with a pick. I think this would be a great rule.

But if everyone agrees ok then. the problem lies with the fact that most teams have owners who, to some extent, restrict their spending. Here, people can spend as much as they please without worrying. Once you're over the cap, there's no worries to adding as much payroll as you want. In my opinion, that's NOT like how it is in the real nba at all. In the real nba you've got Brad Miller traded for Scott Pollard to save money for the owner. You've got Marc Jackson traded for a 2nd round pick to save money. Kenyon Martin traded for picks. Here you've got Aaron Williams given 10 million per year to keep as a trade chip. |

Eh, but in real NBA you also have Marc Cuban, the Sixers, The New York Knicks and Allan Houston getting 20 mio a year.
And how you mean Kenyon Martin traded for picks? Isn't that happening here all the time too? Aren't guys here hesitant to resign 30 year olds for some long term contracts? I know i am for sure. I don't think it's a problem spending some crazy amount of money if you're having a contender (like you for example) and that is justifiable IMO. If you're getting a player who makes some large amount of money while you're miles and pieces away from being a contender, then well, you're a bad GM. But isn't that happening in NBA too? You have bad GM's and good GM's. Carelles owners (like Cuban and Layden - i think the Knicks cap was over 100 mio the year they make the finals) and guys like Sterling who is carefull with the money etc.

I don't like the idea. I'm already overpaid couple of my guys. If you want to put a hard cap then you should do it from the start of the league not at middle of no where.

Eh, but in real NBA you also have Marc Cuban, the Sixers, The New York Knicks and Allan Houston getting 20 mio a year. All 3 of those teams you have listed have lost significant players due to salary concerns (Mavs getting rid of Finley and Nash, Knicks and 76ers both using their luxury tax cut, 76ers trading Marc Jackson for a 2nd round pick and refusing to use either Mashburn's contract or their trade exception because we don't want to add salary). BTW, KMart was ONLY traded because the Nets wouldn't do so financially. If you remember, Kerry Kittles (himself an expiring contract) was traded for a 2nd round pick that summer also. I'm sorry, but unlimited spending is NOT realistic as to the NBA. Not even for the Cubans, Comcast's or NY's of the world, and certainly not for guys like the Bucks. |
