2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

I heard something like under the new CBA teams have to spend 90% of the cap.

Assuming JC isn't resigned, everyone returns, and all 3 picks are used, how much would the Jazz have to spend to get to 90%?
That’s always been a rule… we’d need to spend like 20m depending on options

This isn’t new. It’s called the salary floor. It’s why teams rent out cap space rather than pocket the savings. I think this has been a thing since the 2011 lockout.

The amount that a team is under the salary floor gets distributed evenly among the roster at the end of the year.

The answer to your question is - shooting from the hip - >$40 million. I’ll look it up but HH is probably right about >$20 million.

Hoop Collective yesterday they said now it is 90% of cap no matter what. You can’t be under at all.

It’s a complete nothingburger though. Think only one team ever fell below the floor and they had to pass out the difference to their players. I generally consider it cap mismanagement to be below the floor as worst case you can rent out a few million on an expiring contract for a second round pick.
 
K, I’ll look into it but I don’t believe that is true. How do they make a team do that?
There is some change but it’s a nothingburger.

Okay, so they beefed up the incentive structure. Now teams under the salary floor on the first day of the season no longer get the luxury tax disbursement.

Starting in 2024/25, teams below the salary cap floor — currently 90% of the cap — on the first day of the regular season will not receive a tax distribution from the league’s taxpaying teams, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks (Twitter link). This is a pretty huge change, as it is penalizing teams with excess cap room, not just taxpayers. The Spurs and Pacers would have missed out on an estimated $15.2MM tax distribution payment this season if the new rule had been in effect, Marks notes.
This will help nix teams going into the season and just waiting on situations to develop where they can absorb a ******** of space. Makes sense since the players as a whole are going to yield A LOT of money through the mechanisms of the second apron which seems to already be changing team behavior.

It is also worth noting that this doesn’t apply until ‘24-‘25.
 
The eff does that even mean lol.
European leagues aren't static things. Because a player busted 6 years ago out of that league doesn't really mean anything. They are evaluating these leagues on a real time basis and there is a lot more context than just "this player plays in the French league".
