VII. Player Eligibility and G League

A. Automatic Eligibility. A player will no longer be automatically eligible for the NBA
Draft by virtue of rendering services to a non-NBA professional basketball team (e.g.,
G League Ignite). Instead, such a player will be automatically eligible for an NBA
Draft if he is or will be 22 years of age during the calendar year of the Draft.

B. Two-Way Contracts
1. Number of Two-Way Players. The maximum number of Two-Way Players that
a team may have on its roster will be increased from two to three.

2. Signing Deadline. The January 15 signing deadline for a Two-Way Contract set
forth in Article II, Section 11(f)(i) of the CBA will be moved back to March 4.

C. Exhibit 10 Contract Bonus Amount. The maximum Exhibit 10 Bonus amount to
which a team and player could agree will increase from $50,000 to $75,00 for the 2023-
24 season and will increase annually thereafter at the rate of growth in the Salary Cap.

D. Off-season/Training Camp Roster Size. The off-season and training camp roster size
limit will be increased to 21 (from the current limit of 20).

Wonder what percentage (or if it's all of them) of the front offices can use software to analyze differences from the old one. i would think a savvy set up would be push it through some text analysis to identify differences and start there. I'd guess only 1/3 or thereabouts is different, would make getting through 600+ pages a little quicker.

They have had the documents before them for a long time, I'd imagine.

Combined with 3 2-way contracts now, sorry to inform everyone but I may be back on my Harry Giles kick again this summer.

Right, like I said above, if these teams aren’t pushing this through text analysis software and identifying the differences they are just gluttons for punishment. Some of it has to be recycled from prior.

Trying to understand the salary allowance for trades at 175%. Does that man that salary can be traded up to a 75% difference: $10m player for a $17.5m player? Assuming you are under the appropriate apron of course? That seems like a massive variance

I hoped the green font would help lol. Me neither on the time issues and I’m sure it’s mostly written in legalese anyways.
