League Wide Vote- Cash Exchanged On Player's Contract

[Billy]

Ok we are starting this vote over with new options as it seems we have hit a stalemate with the original vote. I want to get this vote figured out before teams start going crazy in offseason moves. No discussions on other options, these are the final options on where we go with cash exchanges.

So post your vote below.

Option 1- Leave as is

Option 2- Eliminate cash exchanged on contracts entirely

Option 3- A team can have no more than a net $25m in cash paid from another team on their roster. Meaning if you have are paying say $10m in cash on player's trade away from your roster, you can not have more than $35m coming in from other teams.

Option 4- Same as option 3 except $10m net instead of $25m

Option 5- Change to a max % allowed of 25% of a player's contract. Meaning if the player is on a 2 years contract on deal at $30m per season, the max total that can be paid on player is $15m (25% of the player's $60m contract value).



If after we get near end of vote and 2 options are close in votes, we will remove the lower 3 options and just re-vote at the 2 higher selected optins.

On options 2 and 5, previous trades would not be impacted. If someone already has money exchanged, it would be grandfathered

Just a clarification for option 3 and 4. Is the 15/25$ net limit on annual basis or include all the cash exchanged also for following years?

It's the same as the previous vote. It's net per year.

My vote goes to option 5

On option #5 is it a 25% limit per year or 25% over the whole contract? IE: A player makes $30m per year on a 4 year contract. Is the max paid of 25% per year ($7.5m max paid each year) or per contract (can be $30m fully paid in one year, $0 paid across the other 3 years).

25% across the contract still leaves us with the same issues, but just curbs out the shorter term contracts, which makes it even less like the NBA. IE: Anthony Davis is on a 4-year, $30m per year contract. Brent could trade him to a team and fully pay this year ($30m of $120m total is 25%) meaning that team could have a true salary of $140m just off of that 1 player. Any 4 year contract can still be fully paid for a whole year as that's your 25%. Since you can go above cap in future years you can just accumulate a lot of max contracts (4 years contracts or more) fully paid in the first year and you could operate several years above the cap in the same way teams did last year. That option is more of the same, but written differently. Compared to now it just means the rebuilding teams that have a veteran on an expensive 1 year contract they don't intend to resign can't be dealt easily or for as great a return as they are limited to only paying 25% of the single year.

25% across the contract.

Option 4 changed. That should have said $10m not $15m
