What is NBA Cap Room ad how does it affect signing players and contracts?
In: Economics
Professional sports are an entertainment thing. So if one team that had the most money could just hire everyone good and win forever with no issues the game would be dumb to watch pretty quick. So there is rules about the total amount a team can spend on players.
Cap room is the amount they didn’t spend. Like if there was a limit of 100 million and they only spent 98 million they’d have 2 million in cap room. There is a lot of rules about it because people try to pull tomfoolery to subvert it. And they want to make sure the sport doesn’t just become too much a thing where the richest team wins every game and the poorest team loses every game forever and ever and every good player just ends up with whoever pays the most.
