It has come to my attention that some owners have started talking about trades involving money for picks or trading a player and covering cap on said player I tried to wait to post the rule to keep the draft moving as I thought trade talks might slow the draft down and wanted to get the rosters set before we opened trades, but knowing that guys are discussing it already I feel I need to post the rule now.
1. Teams are allowed to cover cap on a player. EX.
Team A trades: LeBron James (LAL-SF) $35.64 million 2019 2nd Rookie Team A covers $35.64 million of LeBron's salary
Team B trades: Anthony Davis (NOP-PF/C) $25.43 million Team B covers $25.43 million
Both teams at that point would get their players for $0 BUT in the offseason if either team decides to drop a guy they will still have to pay the players actual contract.
If a guy is on a FAB contract and a trade of this manner is made, the new team will only have to go by the FAB number the player had before salary was covered.
If I need to I will tweak the wording and layout to make this easier to understand. For now I just wanted to get it out there so guys can see what they will have once we open trading AFTER the draft

Wait, so if you say then drop LeBron James (I know you wouldnt but just for points sake), you would not have a cap hit? Thats how I am reading this rule as you have it put.
Or is it like DBL where you can cover salary, but if you went to drop LeBron, he would have to be dropped at the salary of $35.64?

The way I read it is if LeBron has a salary of $35.64, and is traded to a team that only has to pay $15 (for example), the cap drop isn't calculated based on the $15 but rather the $35.64. If that's right I think that make sense. It's also a little different from the DBL but I like it.

If that's right I think that make sense. It's also a little different from the DBL but I like it. The way you phrased it though, its exactly like DBL if I am reading it right. I guess something like this needs two examples (pardon me because of the last 5 weeks I have put in over 400 hours of work so sometimes my brain doesnt work right lol): Example 1: Lebron gets traded and the team covers $15 mill of the $35.64. That receiving team then drops him. His buyout is still at the $35.64 mill mark but he still keeps the $15 million obviously Or Example 2: Lebron gets traded and the team covers $15 mill of the $35.64. That receiving team then drops him. His buyout is only $20.64 mill because of the $15 million associated in the trade. NOTE: We used this in DBL (example 2) and got rid of it because teams were abusing it and then dropping stars on bad contracts for free after a team covers their contract.

No the rule is teams can cover any amount of a players cap in a trade. In the offseason IF the new team goes to drop a player that has cap covered they have to go by the contract the previous team had him at. So LeBron would always go by the $35.64 number NOT the new $0 contract the new owner would have him at
