Understood. Appreciate the help here! I have another question…

In regards to luxury tax penalties, I read that the luxury tax limit amount is $76,900.000 & for luxury tax penalty level 1 is $81,300,000.

If my cap figure floats between $76,900,00 - $81,300,000, then there will be no penalties assessed, correct?

you would get the tax MLE next season instead of the full MLE, and you'd have to match salaries to 1.25x rather than 1.5x.

But no draft pick penalty

That makes sense, I sincerely appreciate the explanation.

Hello all! In regards to all star game selection voting, are there any criteria for statistical output?

No. Everyone has their own individual criteria for voting

Do I have access to the MLE or not? The MLE / LLE penalties post says i have access to the MLE because I'm only in the lowest level of luxury tax. But the other post on who has access to each exception says I don't? Could anyone help me out, which one is right? Thanks

It looks like you’re currently 20 mil over the cap so you wouldn’t have access to the tax MLE.

Got it, Thanks Jon!

If a player signs a QO and then gets traded in the NBA, their new team does not receive Bird Rights on the player

Does that same thing happen in DDS? Do we have any history of that?

[KW]

actually i think i managed to answer my own question, Johnny Hamilton signed his QO last year with GSW, was traded to NYK during the season, and still has 5 years worth of Bird Rights listed this year as a FA with the Knicks Bird Rights.

So it does NOT work the same way as the NBA, so DDS is a little more team-friendly with that.

Does the postup ball action affect Rim finishing or paint finishing?
And I'd assume the drive&shoot ball action affects the other?
