I thought it should be around $70M. Current NBA cap space is $57M, soft cap is in the $70M range. $70M should be plenty to get started.
Yes...until we get far enough to the sim seasons where we negotiate contracts with FAs ourselves, then we have to keep spreadsheets on those new salaries.
Always liked your thinking. Also for the record, I'm ONLY running the draft. So that DD and others have this time to not worry about the draft, and rather put everything else together. So...yeah don't expect concrete answers from me, unless its semi-draft related.
This. I'm starting to spend frugally cause I have so much cap tied up already, but its manageable. Make these GMs do their research
In the NBA, they have a LT cap and teams that want to win go over it. They are penalized by having only MLE and having to do 125% salary swap type deals.
70 isnt going to work, its too late to tell someone, "okay you need to draft 10 minimum players now", maybe we can meet somewhere in the middle though. hadnt really thought about it, but maybe 90 would work. maybe 90 max/50 min, ill decide by tonight
mhm. but people should have also made sure they didn't go crazy drafting players with huge contracts. "think you'd make a better gm?", right?
