Spreadsheet
What is the roster limit in the offseason?
Offseason roster limit is 20, just remember you need to get down to 15(+2 two ways) by the start of the season.
When over the cap how much salary can I take back in a trade?(NOTE: Also applies If you are currently under the salary cap and a proposed trade would put you over the cap)
What is the apron?
The apron is a hard cap for teams who have used Bi-Annual Exception, full Mid-Level Exception or completed a Sign-And-Trade.
What is a cap hold?
A cap hold is a salary cap hold, there are different types, none of which are active at this stage.
How should we format a contract offer? (credit to @Raccoon2117 who created this template)
Name of Player
Years of deal (option year included in parentheses)
First year’s salary (state the exception if using one)
% of raise (5% max for non-bird, 8% max for early-bird/Bird)
(No-trade clause, if any)
Projected Role
Explanation of Role/Pitch (this does not need to be too long, just a quick summary is fine)
Example:
Michael Jordan
5 Years (Player Option in Year 5)
$20,000,000
8%

You'll be our franchise star. You're the GOAT and we want you to carry us to a title.

What is a cap hold?
A cap hold is a salary cap hold, there are different types, none of which are active at this stage.
- A cap hold called an "incomplete roster charge" if the team has fewer than 12 players. This charge is equal to the rookie minimum salary for each player fewer than 12. For example, if there are 11 players included in team salary, then an amount equal to the rookie minimum salary is added to the team salary; if the roster is completely empty, then 12 times the rookie minimum salary is added to the team salary. This charge only applies during the offseason.
- A cap hold for 120% of the "scale" amount for the team's unsigned first round draft pick(s). This amount begins to apply to team salary immediately upon selection in the draft. This amount can be excluded from the team salary for the current season if, before the season starts, the team and player agree in writing that the team will not sign the player during that season (i.e. International stash).
- A cap hold for a percentage of the previous salary of every unrenounced free agent (amount depends on type of free agent).
- A cap hold for salaries offered in offer sheets to restricted free agents.
- If a team is below the cap, then its Disabled Player, Bi-Annual, Mid-Level (either the Taxpayer or Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level, whichever applies to the team) and/or trade exceptions are added to their team salary, and the league treats the team as though they are over the cap. This is to prevent a loophole, A team can't act like it's under the cap and sign free agents using cap room, and then use its Disabled Player, Bi-Annual, Mid-Level and/or trade exceptions. Consequently, the exceptions are added to the team salary (putting the team over the cap) if the team is under the cap and adding the exceptions puts them over the cap. If a team is already over the cap, then the exceptions are not added to their team salary. There would be no point in doing so, since there is no cap room for signing free agents.
- A team's exceptions may be lost entirely, or the team may never receive them to begin with. This happens when their team salary is so low that when the exceptions are added to the team salary, the sum is still below the salary cap. If this happens when the exceptions arise on day 1 of the new season then the team doesn't get their exceptions at all.
