Looking at the numbers in front of the Raptors should they manage to re-sign their Finals MVP for at least one more season, we see a much clearer picture of the resulting cap dilemma.
The word “exception” will be tossed around a lot here and that’s because the only way a team can sign a player or make a trade that would leave it above the salary cap, is to use one of the legal exceptions as outlined in the NBA’s CBA. It’s because of these exceptions that nearly every NBA team can and will operate above the league salary cap at all times, treating the luxury tax threshold as the real spending deterrent.There are different tiers of “mid-level exception” and this is the highest.
This is the more likely mid-level exception that the Raptors will have at their disposal as they’ll likely be a team above the apron. Like the non-tax-payer one, teams can split the value of it to sign multiple players.
