I was wondering what was going on with this before I figured out why I was having issues. I love basketball and know a lot about it but I don't know the money side of things like at all. I had never heard of the cap hold before this. In your case, you can then sign them for 1,5 Million or let them go - either way, you will have more Cap Space to sign the Star Center. But the Cap Hold is always higher than the previous Salary.Ī player can resign for less, but you need to renounce him first and giving up your Bird Rights. It depends on their previous Salaries and the type of their Bird Rights (Bird, Early Bird and so on) and if the Player is coming of a Rookie Contract or not.

I was set to acquire a star center in free agency but with the cap holds of those two and remaining other players I was somehow 25 million over the salary cap although I had around 10 million free cap space before free agency. But their cap holds were around 7 respectively 8 million although their demands for a future contract both were only 1,5 million. You can renounce the Cap Hold, but then you lose the Bird Rights for your Player.Ĭould you explain to me, why those cap holds are so high? In my MyLeague I had Mike Muscala and Dewayne Dedmon with expiring contracts while Muscalas contract was worth around 5 and Dedmons around 6 million.
So for example: you have 37 Million Cap Space and a Free Agent with 15 Million Cap Hold, that means in reality you have only 22 Million Million Cap Space. The Cap hold is a placeholder for Players a team is expected to sign, so Free Agents with Bird Rights and 1st-Round-Picks. Your problem in this sceanrio is the Cap Hold.
