The salary is different for each team, its the amount of money (per year) that your team is allowed to pay its players and coaches.

There is no "selling" of players. You can release a player from your team, but that persons salary will be counted against your salary cap until another team pick up that player (through waivers), or until his contract with you runs out. For instance, if Player A is on contract with your team at a salary of 4 million a year for 3 years, and you realease him from your team, his 4 million will still count against your cap for the next 3 years. If another team picks him up after you do, your team is released of the contract and the other team is now responsible.

You can "buy" = sign a free agent, but in order to do so, you have to have room "under" your salary cap. If a player you want costs more than the space you have, you cant sign that player. The only ways a team can sign a free agent when they are over the cap is if you sign the player to his minimum salary, or with a mid-level exception. you will see if you have an available exception when you are searching the free agent pool.

Hopefully this gives you a little to work with, I'm not the best at explaining, and there is more stuff to consider but i though a general overview will help yo uthe best. after getting used to these, you will learn how to best use your exception and and sign/release players.

Let me know if I can help you more, I'll do the best I can.

1. First Pick is in the Draft, you draft a rookie out of College who entered draft and wants to become and NBA Player. Firsst Picks are usually in the first round, that means you get to take a top 30 prospect in the country or an international prospect.

2. Draft is where a team chooses a rookie to join an NBA Team, it gives him a contract and he plays for them, thats how all the players, MJ, LeBron, Melo got into the NBA.

3. This ain't soccer/football where you can buy players players for money, you have to trade a player for another palyer so their salaries would match.

4. Salary Cap is the amount of money a team gets to pay their players salaries. If a team is over salary cap, the owner has to pay for the players salaries to NBA, its called a luxury tax, but thats not in the game (luckily for NYK).

5. Cant sell players. Can only trade them, you can release them and they beocme free agents, but you still have to pay their salary.

6. Go to configuration and look for Keyboard, trsut me its there.
