The NBA has a soft salary cap unlike the NHL and NFL. This means you can go above the cap but you need to qualify for an exception. This is not hard to do. There are a long list of exceptions including Bird Rights, Minimum Salary, and Mid-level exceptions. However, using the exceptions has a drawback. If teams spend too much over the cap, they run the risk passing the luxury tax threshold. An extra $5 million in contracts will cost teams a minimum of $7.5 million in penalties. Nobody ignored this penalty quite like the Brooklyn Nets in 2013-14. Watch the video to learn more. #NBASalaryCap #NBA #NBAExplained - Спорт
I can't believe NBA teams only spend 70m on salaries, that's the salary of Messi alone in Barcelona
N in NBA stands for National.
@@RamRam-jp2kc wow really? I had no idea Canada was part of the US
@@jeemale9207 hahaha, Funny isn't it. Canada is more like that discount thing u get for free when u buy real product. Yes i'm still gonna stick to N as National cuz thats whole USA and Canada calls it.
@@RamRam-jp2kc "that's whole USA and Canada calls it". What does that even mean? And it's ok to change your tune when someone proves you wrong. No one's gonna think less of you for it
@@jeemale9207 I didn't change tune. Everybody knows canada is a different country but its so similar its almost like another state of USA. DOn't get too technical, i just mean in a symbolic way. Learn how to read between lines and not word to word.
warriors are currently the highest luxury tax in nba with 173 million dollars
Thank you so much!! I learned so much from this video. Would you be willing of doing another nba salary cap video going over even more terms? Much appreciated
Secret Stuff We are hoping to do a more in depth video for the exceptions! There is A LOT of them so we wanted to make a general overview and then go into some more details later on, a video fully on contracts might be good too we thought?
Such a great explanation thanks!
The NBA would become 10x+ more entertaining if they went hard cap. Some of their "exceptions" make sense, but the majority of them are absolutely absurd.
What’s hard cap?
Hard cap means under no circumstance can you exceed the salary cap. The NBA has exceptions which let you go over the cap.
Why? With a hard cap nobody's coming to the nba. In the end, the player's salaries go down.
@@user-Ic7hx7wd9c LOL you think if there is a hard cap people will stop playing? Theyll turn down millions of dollars, fame and the game they love simply because of a hard cap?
God you're dumb
Wtf I thought this had more views . Great videos
very helpful.. thanks
I heard if Houston didn’t keep cp3 they would’ve only had 6mill to get point guard? But they paid Chris Paul way more so I was confused on how that works
they had chris paul's bird rights
The two sides seemed to drop the ball in ‘96. I wonder why there’s no information on tearing up that CBA when the cap went into the stratosphere. That was justifiable grounds to overrule any violation of contract and it did more bad than good in my honest opinion. What happened was a free for all Wild West all over and these silly $40 M contracts to 12th men got out of hand. In the end, the game lost a lot of its purity and the beginning of the spectacle being more important.
How does the NBA decide players salaries yet the team has to make their own money
How do teams like the Nets afford 3 big players
What about the apron/hard cap
Yeah, we tried to keep it simple and group the apron with the luxury tax but there are different rules associated with the apron. Basically, if you exceed a certain amount over the luxury tax threshold (about $6 million) some of the salary exceptions (bi-annual, some sign and trades, etc.) are no longer available. If you are below the apron and use one of those exceptions you become hard-capped and cannot exceed the apron amount for the rest of the season. Looking back, we should’ve touched on the potential to be hard-capped.
I still don't understand but go sports!
what happened if team salary doesnt reach 90% of salary cap?not discuss..thank you..
The team has to pay the difference to get to 90%. It’s paid to all of the players on the roster. How it’s divided is predetermined by the players association
shit so isn't it impossible for a team with a superstar to give that player a supermax deal without going over the luxury tax? some of these deals are over $200 mil
Pretty much that's why they are bad for teams hence why the Bradley Beal contract is awful
But if the nba gives teams they money they use to pay the players than what do the owners even do? If the tv deals pay the salaries what do the owners do lmao
The NBA needs to do what the NHL did and just lock their players out until they get a hard cap.
Soft cap is one of the main factors in the NBAs fall
What’s the big issue with soft cap?
Well, the NBA is doing far better economically than the NHL. So I don’t think the NBA should be copying the NHL. Plus, the soft cap is clearly the best way. A hard cap punishes teams who draft and develop talent well as they will have to let some of those players go when the cost gets too high. A soft cap allows these teams to keep all of those players, assuming the player wants to stay.
I really hate salary caps. Player salaries will be reduced! The nba should get a higher salary.
