Yes you can extend players that expire at the end of this season. Moves that take on cap in the current cap year while over the cap are the only ones not allowed. Teams that are over the cap have always had to be under the cap by the start of the regular season. Why would a team be allowed to be over the cap while in the regular season? That should be clear and not something that has to be in the rules. We can?t have every single thing in the rules or it would be too long for anyone to read. It?s common sense that you can?t start the regular season over the cap.It?s no different than roster size. During regular season, you have to have a complaint roster. During off season rules are just relaxed to allow teams to start the off season over the cap and make moves to clear the cap over the course of the off season.
A rule can be put in place to prevent teams from being allowed to go over cap in future years. Can be put to a league vote with it going in place next off season to not affect anyone that is already over the cap for any future season.
When the FA players will be updated in Fantrax?I have noticed that Taj Gibson is with NY, I think this is a mistake as he should be a FA.. also, I do not see any transactions for him in Fantrax.
Hi league. Could someone please explain the free drop option outlined in the "Salary Cap Structure " section in the official rules. Is it an old rule for original managers or available to new managers like myself?I recall a recent transaction for G Hayward which I believe used this section. If it is possible, does it only apply to players on the originally inherited roster or any players which may or may not have been traded for since?
That specific part of the rules was actually only for the beginning of the league to allow owners to drop a few contracts from their beginning of the league.However, we do have a rule in place that allows a new manager of a team to drop 1 contract from their team with no cap hit (IE the Hayward release falls under this). I thought I had this listed in the rules but apparently I didn't so I will get it added for clarity. But yes, since you are new to the Raptors, you can drop a player from your roster.
