Cash

[Andrew]

I thought we used to use cash in trades to cover players salaries?

I remember when I traded Nick Latham and a bunch of cash to Carolina, he used it to cut Latham's contract in half.

Can we not do that now?

No, you can still use it in trades to cover the cost of a player you're trading.

Nothing you really can do. That's kind of the point. So teams who are making ridiculous amounts more don't have a huge advantage.

Come on guys...seriously...

As for the cash...so what do I do with the $$$ over $20 million? Can't I buyout some of a players contract? What does everyone else do when they are over the limit?

Unless you trade it all away - something that just couldn't happen because why would I take money I can't keep either - then you're SOL.

Maybe you should spend up to your budget next time. :)

You can only do that at the end of the season after your cash balance takes a haircut to reduce it to $20 million.

Damn the man! DAMN HIM!!!

I don't think you will be much over the $20 million limit at the end of the season. The game is predicting your cash balance will be about $18 million then - the total of your beginning cash and projected balance.

Can't you funnel some of it to your stadium fund? I thought that you could?

Yeah that really wasnt necessary.

I'm all for speaking your mind, but was the F bomb really needed?

I think it disappears to keep teams from hoarding the cash over a period of years and then using it all to rule the world? But I could be wrong.

Exactly. It disappears to keep the league financials in balance. Without it teams could horde endless amounts of cash. This would especially be a problem because FA's consider the amount of available cash in the league when deciding how much money they want.

Consider it as your team's greedy owner pocketing all the profits.

Cash Maximum
The Cash Maximum is $20 million. At the end of the season anything over $20 Million in cash will be lost.

Stadium funds
Teams may transfer money into a stadium fund which will be maintained separate from the normal finances and won't be subject to the Cash Maximum.
Stadium fund transfers are only allowed between the end of the season and the beginning of Free Agency.
This money can only be used for upgrades to your stadium or to purchase a new one.

It does disappear - revenue sharing is based on teams spending over the ceiling
