Question
Is there any NBA/FIFA rule against the Raptors or MLSE owning another team in another league (e.g. Spain), rather than a D League team. The team could use to stash or develop players (in a league with better competition) and not get handcuffed by a buy out. Essentially, using a Euro league team as a farm system?

That's a good question.

As a complete guess I think that the NBA itself wouldn't allow that, seeing as they're trying to grow the D League brand and would probably be pretty pissed if some team were to circumvent it. So from that standpoint, yeah, there probably is.

Lol, who did they try that on?

And what is the amount for the 20 slot?

Yes, Xavier Henry and Vasquez actually. Eventually they dropped the conditions, have the full 120%, and both signed in September.

1.2 million is the 20 slot nominal amount.

Xavier Henry if I remember correctly.

It is according to slot. But you can pay between 80-120% of the slot amount. Mind you, everyone pays the 120% - players and agents find it insulting to be offered any less. MEM got into a bit of a PR mess a couple years ago when they tried to only pay the 100%.

Is the amount we pay our draft picks according to the slot?

And is it non-negotiable how much we pay them?

Under what circumstances is a team allowed to sign players over the cap?

A team can sign their own free agents if they are over the cap. This is done via the players' Bird Rights.

They can also use exceptions to sign players not on their team. Depending on the team's total salary, teams will have different exceptions to use. Such as the mid-level exception and the bi-annual exception.

They can also orchestrate a sign-and-trade, but then they have to meet trade rules (such as accepting only 125% of the outgoing salary in the trade, depending on total team salary).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Generally exceptions such as the bi-annual, and mid-level are for smaller salaries as well. The mid-level ranges from 2.5M to 5.15M for teams over the cap and the bi-annual must start at 1.672M.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Mid-Level this summer: starts at 5.305M with 4.5% raises for 4 years for non-tax-payers (specifically teams below the apron).
Mid-Level this summer: starts at 3.278M with 4.5% raises for 3 years for tax-payers.
Mid-Level this summer: starts at 2.732M with 4.5% raises for 2 years for teams that use cap room to sign players.
Bi-Annual this summer: starts at 2.077M with 4.5% raises for 2 years for non-tax-payers.
