Minimum Player Exception. Minimum Player Exception or to a Two-Way Contract. (Article VII, §4(g), p. 186)

Teams can rescind renunciations if they renounce players to tender an offer sheet to a RFA and the ROFR Team matches the offer sheet. Such Team must rescind the renunciations within (2) business days.

Teams can rescind renunciations if (i) they renounce players to tender an offer sheet to a RFA and (ii) the ROFR Team matches the offer sheet. Such Team must rescind the renunciations within two (2) business days (or, if the ROFR Team conditions it’s match on the RFA passing a physical, two (2) business days after the physical). 6

Re-Signing Waived and Stretched Players

N/A A Team that stretches a player cannot re-sign or re-acquire such player until July 1st following the end of the last Season of his Contract (including any Option year).7

6 If the player’s incumbent Team conditions its match on the RFA passing a physical, the Team must rescind within 2 business days after the physical. Note: This was likely applied in practice during the 2011 CBA and the 2017 CBA is codifying this practice. 7 Note: The text of the CBA does not specify which “Contract” this is – a new Contract with the player’s next Team or his original Contract. The most likely case is that this means the July 1st following what would have been the end of such player’s now terminated and stretched Contract.

Set-Off Rights (Non-NBA teams) N/A A Team is not required to set-off a player’s dead money cap hit against money earned by such player from a non-NBA team (though it still has the option to do so). (Article XXVII, §1(a), p. 374)

When a player receives money from a non-NBA contract on a net-of –tax basis, the calculation of such player’s set off amount will be his net-of-tax salary divided by 0.65 to account for a 35% tax rate.8 (Article XXVII, §1(b), p. 374)

Set-Off Rights and the Stretch Provision N/A For Teams that stretch a waived player’s Salary, the set-off amount for each applicable season will also be stretched. (Article XXVII, §5, p. 375-377)

Example: Player A has a dead salary cap hit of $1.5M in Y1, Y2 and Y3 and his Team stretches Y2 and Y3, resulting in a $1.5M cap hit in Y1 and a $600k in Y2-Y6. Player A signs a new Contract in Y1 providing Player A’s old Team with a set off amount of $500k in Y1, Y2 and Y3 – the original term of the Contract. Player A’s dead money cap hit for his original Team will be as follows:

8 This amount can be modified if the player provides evidence that the calculation incorrect given his actual tax situation.

Compensation Protections – Exceptions to Receiving Protected Compensation

Note: Compensations protections in the 2011 CBA for Lack of Skill, Death, Basketball-Related Injury, Injury and Illness, and Mental Disability all had different variations of exceptions for instances in which a player would not receive his protected compensation. The 2017 CBA makes those exceptions uniform for each category of Compensation protection. For easy readability, each iteration of the exceptions listed in the 2011 CBA is not included in this chart.

The termination of a player’s Contract shall in no way affect the player’s right to receive, in whole or in part, the Base Compensation protected; provided, however, that: (i) such lack of skill/death/injury/injury or illness/mental disability does not result from the player’s participation in activities prohibited by paragraph 12 of the Uniform Player Contract (as such paragraph may be modified by Exhibit 5 to the Player Contract), attempted suicide, intentional self-inflicted injury, abuse of alcohol, use of any Prohibited Substance or controlled substance, abuse of or addiction to prescription drugs, conduct occurring during the commission of any felony for which the player is convicted (including a plea of guilty, no contest or nolo contendere), participation in any riot, insurrection or war or other military activities, or failure to comply with the requirements of Paragraphs 7(d)-(i) of the Uniform Player Contract;9 (ii) at the time of the player’s failure to render playing services, the player is not in material breach of such Contract; (iii) if the Team,

9 The foregoing exceptions listed here are also included in Exhibit 2 of the Uniform Player Contract.

for its own benefit, seeks to procure an insurance policy covering the player’s lack of skill, the player cooperates with the Team in procuring such an insurance policy, including by, among other things, supplying all information requested of him, completing application forms, or otherwise, and submitting to all examinations and tests requested of him by or on behalf of the insurance company in connection with the Team’s efforts to procure such policy; and (iv) if the Team, for its own benefit, has procured such an insurance policy, the player cooperates (in the manner described above) with the Team and insurance company in the processing of the Team’s claim under such policy. (Article II, §4, p. 22-26)

Compensation Protections – Negotiating Additional Conditions

N/A Teams and players can negotiate additional conditions to the guaranteed salary amounts. These conditions can be subject to the following stipulations:10 (i) Whether the Team waives the player by a certain date (e.g. if the player is still on the roster by July 15, his Base Compensation shall be protected for $1M);

10 These individually negotiated conditions on compensation protection cannot be applied to RFAs who are subject to the Gilbert Arenas Rule.


Page 15

(ii) Achievement of certain benchmarks relating to Team/player performance or player’s physical condition (e.g. If player averages X points per game, his Base Compensation will be protected for $1M); (iii) A player experiencing a certain illness or injury (e.g. Base Compensation protection does not apply if the player injures his left knee); and (iv) The Team’s good faith ability to obtain insurance. (Article II, §4(l), p. 31)

Increasing Salaries for Players on the 2011 CBA Rookie Scale Contracts

N/A For each player who has his 2011 CBA Rookie Scale Salary increased per the terms of the 2017 CBA, for the purpose of calculating how much cap room a Team has or any other calculations involving such Salary, his Salary shall be considered the greater of (i) his 2011 CBA Rookie Scale Salary and (ii) the applicable Minimum Player Salary as calculated pursuant to the 2017 CBA. (Article VII, §3(j), p. 177) In other words, increases to Rookie Scale Salaries in Contracts signed before 2017 will not affect the calculation of the Team’s Team Salary (or trades involving players whose current Contracts fall under the 2011 CBA Rookie Scale) except to the extent the player’s Salary is increased to the applicable Minimum Player Salary under the 2017 CBA.

Once the increases take effect, his Salary will be considered his Minimum Salary (as increased) and will be included in Team Salary. (Article VIII, §5, p. 270-271)

Rookie Salary Scales Rookie Salary Scale is set under the 2011 CBA for each Season.

Rookie Scale Amounts N/A For 2017-18, the Rookie Scale Amounts are the amounts set forth in 2017-18 Rookie Salary Scale. For the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons, the Rookie Scale Amounts are calculated as set forth below (see next row). For all other seasons, the Rookie Scale Amounts will be determined by multiplying the prior year’s Rookie Scale Amounts by the percent change in the Salary Cap. Note: The 4th Year Option and Qualifying Offer percentages set forth in the 2017-18 Rookie Salary Scale shall remain the same for each Salary Cap Year during the term and shall be included in the Rookie Salary Scales prepared for each Salary Cap Year.

Page 27

2018-19: The 2018-19 Baseline Rookie Scale will be calculated by multiplying the 2017-18 Baseline Rookie Scale24 by the percentage change in the Salary Cap, however the 4th year player options and Qualifying Offers calculations will remain the same. The 2018-19 Rookie Scale will then be calculated by taking the Salary amounts in the 2018-19 Baseline Rookie Scale (calculated in accordance with the instructions in the paragraph above)and increasing 2018-19 Salaries by 30% and each subsequent year’s salary by 45%. 2019-20: The 2019-20 Baseline Rookie Scale will be calculated by multiplying 2017-18 Baseline Rookie Scale by the percentage change in the Salary Cap, however the 4th year player options and Qualifying Offers calculations will remain the same.

N/A A player and Team can agree to provisions stating Contract is intended to provide for the applicable Minimum Player Salary (with no bonuses) for each Season of the Contract.
