Step 1: Apply cap hits to all years (90/60/30 or 75/50/25).

Step 2: For future years subtract any cash already paid (up to max of cap hit).

Step 3: If accelerating to this season then subtract any cash already paid this season from this year's salary+all adjusted future cap hits.

If not accelerating to this season then treat this year in the same way as future years.

Post Deadline Example (75/50/25)
Danny Green $10m (2020)
10m, 10m, 10m, 10m

X-10m, -2m

Non-Accelerated Cap Hits:
2017: 0m (7.5-10) 
2018: 3m (5-2) 
2019: 2.5m
2020: 2.5m 

Accelerated:

-Future year hits are 3m+2.5m+2.5m=8m
-This season's cap hit of 75% = 7.5m
Total Hit = 15.5m

THEN subtract any cash already paid this season (10m) =5.5m to be paid this season (thus must have at least 5.5m in cap room).


You cannot accelerate salary being paid in future seasons as negotiated in a trade. Thus if you are paying $8m on Dirk Nowitzki in 2021 as agreed upon in a trade, then that could not be paid off prior to 2021.

Free Agency:
Free Agency will be year round except for the playoffs.
Any player released or not resigned will be available for FA.
Bidding will be done in the transaction board and it is in terms of total salary. Once you are the high bidder for 48 hours you will win the said player. After winning the player you have 72 hours to post the contract that abides by the Contract rules.
Bids must be increased by at least $0.5m. Bids higher than $10m must be increased by at least $1m. You can only have a max of 5 winnings bids at any one time. If you have 5 winning bids, you must wait for one of them to be finalized or to be outbid before you can bid again.
At no time may the team go over the cap. So if you have 2m in space you are not allowed to have outstanding bids that total more than 2m at any point.
At NO TIME may you edit a bid after it has been posted. If you edit a bid, it will be invalid.

Restricted Free Agency:
If a player is an RFA then bidding will be done for the said player. The team who currently owns the player does not need to bid. Once the high bid stands for 48 hours the owning team has the option to match the offer. If they match it, they keep the RFA for that cost. If they do not match it, the RFA then goes to the winning bid. The team will have 24hrs to match the offer or the player is lost.
An RFA may be extended before Feb. 1 of the last year of the contract. When extending an RFA you multiply his extension salary by 1.2 resulting in his salary.
In RFA, if a player is not bid on, they may be signed to the league minimum of $0.4m for 1 or 2 years or they can be released to FA.

Once RFA starts you can no longer trade RFA rights. Any deal for an RFA after bidding has started must be done as a sign and trade thus you have to have the cap space to match the RFA bid prior to trading.

D-League�
Everyone can have up to 5 players in their d-league. Player�s on the d-league do not count against the cap. To call up or send down someone, you are to post it in the transactions board. Any player who has played in 35 or more games will not be eligible for the D-league. Once a player reaches 35 he will either be called up or released. D-league players will be on your fantrax minors roster, but you MUST post here that you want them moved to the active roster�


Note: Once the playoffs start, you cannot call up a player from the d-league except for in the case of an injury replacement. You may still send one down to activate someone from the IR.�

Contracts:
Minimum salary per year is 400k or .4m. There is no maximum salary per year as long as a team can afford the player 
Given amount per year 
<= $1m, 2 years 
$1.1m - $5.4m, 3 years 
$5.5m - $10m, 4 years 
> $10m, 5 years (the overall limit) 

Salary - Minimum Years 
$20m+ - 5 years 
$16 to $19.9m - 4 years 
$11 to $15.9m - 3 years 
$5 to $10.9m - 2 years 

NO LONGER VALID

Trading:
Trading is allowed obviously. An owner may pay for part or all of a player's contract for that year or even future years in a trade to make the trade work out if cap is an issue in the trade. 80M is the hard cap and cap cannot be traded meaning the only money that can move in a trade is the money that someone might pay for a player. Only the owner that owns that player can pay part of that player's contract in a trade. If 3 or more teams are in a trade, that 3rd team cannot pay part of a salary going from team 1 to team 2 or vice-versa. If money is being paid in a future year when that season is a team option, the option must be picked up in order for money to be paid on that player. A player picked up in FA cannot be traded within 30 days after signing. (Updated 7/12/17)

A posted trade will not be processed until 48 hours has passed regardless of whether or not the votes are there. (During the season) Trades are to be posted in the transactions board and must be agreed upon by both owners involved in a trade. This is how a trade must be posted:

Team A trades:
Kevin Durant 15.5M (2015/2016)
Team B trades:
Dwayne Wade 15.7M (2014/2015)

Trades will be voted on by a trade committee of at least 7 people. TC will not vote unless the trade is in the right format. To state that someone is paying part of someone's contract then you would put that in parentheses after the year. Example:
Team A trades:
Kevin Durant 15.5 M (2015/2016)(10M paid by Team A for 12/13)

All 7 members on the TC must try and vote on every trade. If a trade gets 3 or more vetoes, it will not pass
Everyone needs to respond to trade offers or messages about being interested in a certain player/pick. It is rude to not respond to trade messages. Even a simple, "no thank you," would be fine. If I get multiple people telling me that someone is not responding to trade offers, then you will be liable to loss of draft picks.

***Draft Pick Trading***
You will be allowed to trade your draft picks for the current season. (If you have paid for the 2016-17 season, then you can trade picks in the 2017 draft)
If an owner has pre-paid for the following season, then they will be allowed to trade picks for that following draft. (If you pre-pay for 2017-18, then you can trade picks in the 2018 draft) Note: Both sides of a trade involving a 2018 draft pick would need to have pre-paid even if they are only acquiring a pick.

Playoffs:
8 teams will make the playoffs from each conference just like as in the NBA. Playoff seeding will be just as it is in the NBA. A division winner is not guaranteed to get a top 4 seed in this league just like in the NBA.�
Round Matchups:�
#1 vs #8�
#4 vs #5�
#2 vs #7�
#3 vs #6�

For playoff matchups, if a matchup ends in a tie, then the tiebreakers would be:�
1. Higher Seed�
2. Regular Season Record (only in finals)�

Playoff seeding tiebreakers will be as follows:�
1. Head to Head to Record�
2. Division Record�
3. Most Categories won during the season�
