Some New (And Questionable) CBA Details Have Emerged

Sources: Full terms of NBA's 65-game minimum to be eligible for honors such as MVP, All-NBA, DPOY:

Players must play 20 minutes in at least 65 games – with protections against season-ending injury (62 games), near misses in minutes (2 games at 15 min.), bad faith circumstances.— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) April 17, 2023

ESPN Reporting with @BobbyMarks42: 2023-2024 NBA In-Season Tournament schedule is expected to include quarters, semis and finals in early December.

Sources: New NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement numbers:

– Non-Taxpayer MLE increases 7.5%: $10.5M to 12.2M
– Room MLE increases 30%: $5.5M to $7.6M; max contract length now 3 years
– New Second-Round Pick Exception: 3-4 year contracts up to minimum salary for third-year player— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) April 17, 2023

More salary increases as part of NBA’s new CBA, per sources:

– Two-way players can negotiate to guarantee half of salary on first day of regular season

– Exhibit 10 contracts now have $75,000 bonus, up from $50,000, increasing compensation for approximately 60% of G Leaguers https://t.co/6GsMwF5N1h— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) April 17, 2023

As part of the new CBA, if a team goes over the second tax apron, their 1st round pick 7 years out is unable to be traded, sources told me & @wojespn. Teams that then exceed the apron twice over the following four years will have that pick dropped to the end of the 1st round.— Tim Bontemps (@TimBontemps) April 17, 2023

If teams stay under the second apron in three out of the following four years, however, the pick becomes unfrozen and is able to dealt, sources told me and @BobbyMarks42. This rule goes into effect at the start of the 2024-25 season. https://t.co/3GtPy8aik3— Tim Bontemps (@TimBontemps) April 17, 2023

Starting with the 2024-25 salary cap year, any team that is below the minimum salary floor (90% of the cap) on the first day of the regular season will not receive a tax distribution.

Ex: San Antonio would have forfeited $15.2M this season.— Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) April 17, 2023

Trade rules for teams that exceed the apron (first or second) is reduced from 125% to 110% in the 2023-24 salary cap year through the last day of the regular season.

Teams over the apron starting in the 2024 offseason cannot take back a player contract exceeding 100%.— Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) April 17, 2023

This trade loophole is now closed in the new CBA.

Any player that renegotiates and extends his contract cannot be traded for 6 months.

Turner technically could have been because the extension in year 1 did not exceed 105%. https://t.co/fMbPGdAjAe— Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) April 17, 2023

Would give future players in the position of (for instance) Fred VanVleet and Khris Middleton now (and their teams) more negotiating flexibility. https://t.co/FzJOlIXPxV— Zach Lowe (@ZachLowe_NBA) April 17, 2023
