Salary cap: In the NBA, the salary cap is the most famous salary limitations. The annual "salary cap" is based on the NBA's total revenue for the previous year, and then 48% of that total revenue is taken as the NBA team's payroll. Then take this 48% of the total revenue divided by the total number of NBA teams 29 teams, the average is the year's "salary cap", the team spent on the player's total salary shall not exceed this figure.
However, taking into account the characteristics of free competition, the "salary cap" is not a hard hat, in certain circumstances, the team's total salary can exceed this number. The NBA's "salary cap" last year was $43.84 million, and this year's is $43.87 million.
Third-party escrow (Escrow): Remember the protracted strike negotiations between the NBA players' union and officials in 1999? One of the final compromises of the "strike" was this "third-party escrow". It was officially implemented in the 2001-2002 season. The way it works is that NBA officials withhold 10% of a player's salary and place it in an escrow account. If the player's final income does not exceed 55% of the total income of the league's 29 teams, then the money will be returned. But if the player ends up making more than 55 percent, then that money is confiscated by officials.
The third-party escrow is like a sword of Damocles, "forcing" teams to pay no more than 55 percent of their payrolls in order to stabilize the player-trading market.
Luxury tax: This is the heart of the 55 percent mentioned above. The salary cap is soft, and if team owners shell out more than 55 percent of the league's gross revenue, they must pay the luxury tax.
The "salary cap" for next season is $43.87 million, so the luxury tax should be $54.6 million. If you ignore it, there are severe penalties. Penalty one is that the escrowed money will not be returned to the athletes, and penalty two is that for every dollar you spend above the 55 percent, i.e., beyond the $54.6 million, you will also have to pay a dollar in luxury tax. These two penalties, in parallel, are bound to make the owners of those "money-burning" teams think twice.
Larry-Bird exception: Because former Boston Celtics superstar Larry Bird had a great deal of success as head coach of the Pacers in the 1997-2000 season, the team extended his contract with the Pacers. Therefore, the team extended his contract with him by setting the salary increase at 12.5%, which was recognized by the league. After this, such a salary adjustment rule became a rule of the league - in the same team to play for three years, not waived or transferred to other teams in the middle of the process, if you have such a condition, when you become a free agent, the salary can be in the original basis of the rise of 12.5%, and do not If you are a free agent, your salary can go up by 12.5 percent, while those who are not can only go up by 10 percent. Even if the rise in the part of the team's total salary over the "salary cap", is also allowed by the rules. In the current NBA, because of the simplicity of the conditions, almost every team can enjoy the Larry Bird exception.
The draft rules go like this/
The NBA draft is divided into two rounds, with teams picking players based on some predetermined rules. The 14 teams that did not make the playoffs the previous season receive the top 14 first-round picks. These teams participate in a lottery prior to the draft to determine the order in which each team will pick. The 16 teams that made the playoffs last season received the 16 picks after the first round, and the order of those 16 teams in the lottery was based on their regular-season records, with the poorer teams picking higher in the draft. So the team with the best regular-season record last
season would be last in the draft. It's worth noting that the last pick in the 2004 draft was not the Detroit Pistons, who won the championship, but the Indiana Pacers, who finished first in the regular season.
The second round of the draft is in the same order as the first. But NBA teams are allowed to use the rights to their second-round picks as trade chips on the season-long player-trade market to get players they need from other teams. So the second-round picks are then determined by how each team's second-round picks are exchanged.
Every team in the NBA must select at least one rookie player throughout the course of the draft. Also, NBA rules prohibit any team from trading all of their first-round picks for the next two consecutive years. This rule was introduced in part due to the operations of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the early 1980s. Ted Stepien was the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers from 1980 to 1983, and he operated a series of questionable player trades that cost the Cavaliers several years of not having a first-round draft pick, and Stepien's failed player trading campaign nearly destroyed the Cavaliers. These failed player trades by Stripling almost destroyed the Cavaliers, and eventually the NBA had to pressure Stripling to sell the Cavaliers, and then a local Cleveland tycoon, Gordon Gund, became the owner of the Cavaliers, and in order to make the deal work, the NBA gave the Cavaliers a couple of future bonus draft picks. The rule only applies to "future" picks.
For example, in the '99-00 season, teams can give away their '00 first-round picks, regardless of whether they have a first-round pick in the '99 draft, because the '99 picks are no longer "future" picks. But they can't trade away their '00 and '01 1st round picks. Many teams sell picks "every other year" for this reason. Also, a team only needs to have one 1st round pick from that year, whether they got it themselves or got it from another team in a trade, to make it count. As long as they have one, it doesn't matter if they sell the rest.
NBA draft lottery
The NBA Board of Managers met in Salt Lake City in June 1984, when they voted on the order in which teams that didn't make the playoffs would select their first-round rookies. The system began in 1985. And before that, between 1966-1984, the teams with the worst records in the East and West divisions would flip a coin to determine who got the right to pick first.
In the NBA draft lottery, the team with the worst regular-season record is most likely to get the first pick, while the team with the best record that doesn't make the playoffs has the least chance. The lottery will determine just the order of the first three teams' selections, while the remaining teams that don't qualify for the playoffs will select in reverse order of their regular-season records.
During the lottery ceremony, a host will place 14 ping-pong balls numbered 1-14 in a drum-shaped container. Four of the 14 balls can be drawn at random to create 1001 possible combinations, regardless of the order of selection. Prior to the drawing, teams in the lottery are given 1,000 combinations based on their regular season standings. 4 ping pong balls are drawn sequentially to the top of the container to form a four-digit combination, which results in the team receiving the number one draft pick. The four ping pong balls are then returned to the bottom of the container and the previous scenario is repeated to determine the number two and three picks. If a combination of situations is drawn that is not within the allocation, then the lottery will be redone.
Draft lingo
The so-called lottery: After the 14 picks in the first round of the NBA draft, the teams that make the playoffs will receive their picks in reverse order of their record in the regular season. In the second round, all teams will select in reverse order of their regular season record. So the first 14 picks would be the lottery with the lottery protection clause

Nose for the Ball: A good rebounder.

Information for players who have completed high school
(a) A player who is domiciled in the United States and has completed high school may be eligible for the NBA Draft by sending a written notice to the NBA 45 days prior to the start of the draft expressing his intent to forego attending college to continue his education. Once such player has been selected by any NBA team, the following rules shall apply:
(i) Subject to (b) below, if such player does not participate in college basketball, he shall become eligible for the NBA Draft. During the period between the date on which he declares his waiver of college enrollment and the date on which he becomes eligible to participate in the draft, an NBA team will be the only team that can enter into a player contract with the player if the team extends the required offer to the player each year.
In this section, if the player does not renounce his eligibility to participate in the college basketball team after becoming eligible for the NBA draft, the draft is considered a second choice for him.
A player selected as a second-rounder is subject to the applicable rules. A player who is selected in the draft because he forfeits his college basketball eligibility, fails to sign a player contract with the team that selects him, and fails to be selected in the second round of the draft (as explained in the previous statement), is referred to as a rookie free agent.
(ii) If the player participates on a college basketball team, he remains eligible for the NBA Draft if he later declares that he will forego the opportunity to continue playing on a college basketball team. At that time, the NBA team that had selected him in the draft and made the required annual offer to the player will retain the right of first refusal to discuss and sign a player contract with him one year after the date of the draft.
In this section, once the player has been eligible for the NBA draft and has not declared his waiver of eligibility for a college basketball team, the draft will be considered a primary draft for him and the next draft will be considered a secondary draft. A player selected as a second choice eligible player will be subject to the applicable rules.

Picking Players
All U.S. players are automatically eligible for the NBA Draft following their graduation from college. U.S. players can also declare for the draft between the time they graduate from high school and the time they finish college. The NBA establishes two dates for players to declare for the draft, and all players wishing to enter the draft are not automatically eligible for the draft; they must declare for the draft either before or on the day of the first declaration date. After that, the NBA sets up several pre-draft camps for players who may enter the draft in the future, where players can showcase their abilities and skills to league teams. Any player can make the decision to withdraw his name from that year's draft by making the decision to withdraw his name before the final declaration of participation date, which is one week before the draft. This is important for current college players because they will not lose their college eligibility if they declare on or before the first draft day, whereas if they don't officially declare until the final draft day, they will lose the opportunity to further their college education, regardless of whether or not an NBA team ultimately selects them. There's also the fact that if a player signs with an agent, he's automatically done with college.
When a player is selected in the first round of the draft, the team that picks him must sign him to a contract that lasts at least one year, while the team that picks a player in the second round "owns" him for three years, but the team doesn't have to sign him.
The earlier a player is selected in the draft, the more expensive he is. The first player taken in the draft is often called the "first pick," and they are usually the best of all the players in the draft.

Since the NBA free-agent market opened on July 15, rumors have been flying about transfers. The most central issue in the transfer is the player's salary, the NBA has a number of provisions on wages, but what is the salary cap, luxury tax, Larry Bird clause, third-party escrow, etc. If you want to really understand this year's free-agent market storm clouds, then I'll first take you to understand the NBA's wage system.

Even if the rise in the part of the team's total salary over the "salary cap", is also allowed by the rules. In the current NBA, because the conditions are very simple, almost every team can enjoy the treatment of Larry Bird exception clause.
