You guys are missing the whole "salary floor" thing.

Ah, the salary floor is perfect. Just make the cap = salary floor + 50k (or some other reasonable number)

Brilliant idea....

Thanks guys, nice to see a plan suggested that would have made me a very competitive team after I'm gone. Just let me know when you get ready to sell off some of those NT player's. I'll pick one or two of them up for you.

You can't unless you have a 3 game Finals. I'm guessing your team will tread water financially.

I love the new PO split (as a current 4th seed I'm clearly unbiased), but how's your merch? Mine might just be the lowest I've ever had in the NBBA. Wondering if they changed merch rates in the playoffs for who gets what seeds.

The really odd thing about this change, as Coco alluded to, is that while they've fixed (mostly) the 4/5/6 issues (4 > 5 > 6), they've managed to just about entirely remove any (financial) incentive to actually win the league! There's no championship bonus, b3 doesn't really net any money, and even those PO games are likely only going to let you break even. So while they've removed the incentive to tank, they've also disincentived winning! Ah, bb...

The problem with capping everyone's salary to $400k is that nobody wants to get relegated...so who breaks rank first?
