2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

^^^

Because it had none beforehand.  What I mean is you price out any cap reductions by an equal amount so teams are not unfairly penalized by things out of their control.  Whatever the cal reduction is would be the number to use.  And it would only apply to existing contracts not new ones.  You basically reset to current year cap.  Its a 1 for 1 reduction based on percent.

Otherwise no team can trade for existing players with some exceptions, otherwise it would kill their cap.  Lets say they reduce cap by 30% and NY wants to trade for  CP3.  If they had to account for 100% of his current salary yet their cap is 30% less then CP3 would take up an even bigger chunk of their capspace.  If his cap hit is also reduced 30% it matches the cap space the team has under any new reduction.  No one is gaining anything its just keeping things in proportion.  All new contracts would count for 100% only existing contracts would be reduced 1 for 1 cap space wise.

LOL yet it could happen.  And the floors may be plastered with ads too.  Backboard?  Balls?  I can see lots if creative ways they might use to get revenue

I don't think it is fair to let your Thunder get a boatload of picks for taking the CP3-contract and then just kind of waive the overpay.
The Players killed the balance in the league with the capspike I don't see the owners pay for the reduce. The freeagents will pay.

By the way I love the Adds on the Keepers butt in the HBL.

I only used CP as an example.  But the cap determines where lux tax starts and all teams will be affected and all pay ranges too.  This would affect Mavs.  If Mavs wanted to bring in a player in $20m range yet cap is lowered by 30% then Mavs should only have to count for $14m towards cap not $20m.  All I’m saying is reduce cap value of all existing contracts to match the cap decrease.  Nothing special for any team its a 1 for 1 drop.

Hope that makes sense.  And this only applies to existing contracts thus only trades.  New contracts would be valued at 100% since they are done afterwards

This doesn't make much sense, as lowering the cap is for the owners to pay less. If you don't count the full amount against the cap they pay more again.
