Cap.Help

[Chabalaba]

I still dont understand cap space.Why is it that the simulated teams can sign a player for 50 mil when they are over the cap room.Yet i have stephon marbury's contract ending at the end of the season and i cant even sign a player for 3 mil.

Also i need tips on signing players.Does the amount of years matter and will it help signing a player in any way?Like,i was 20 mil under the cap and i was able to sign Jason Terry(about 20mil),Ben Wallace(30 mil), and Al Harrington(20 mil).

I signed ben wallace for 30 mil,yet his contract says only 12 mil.Why is that.

Help plz and thank you.

Teams can go over the cap when they re-sign their own players. Note that contracts actually need to expire before you gain cap space and each team's payroll is different, so a contract coming off your books isn't necessarily going to give you space if you're a long way over the cap.

I signed ben wallace for 30 mil,yet his contract says only 12 mil.Why is that.

One figure is the yearly amount, the other is the total size of the contract.

he gets paid 12 million a year. you must have signed him for about 3 years or something. that is the only thing i can think of. good luck with it.
