The Mavericks don’t have a draft pick, but I wanted to use this occasion to explain some relevant NBA Draft info. I put together some collective bargaining agreement related tidbits that will make you a smarter NBA draft viewer.
Salaries for rookies
First-round pick
To sign a first-round pick does not require any cap space to sign. Their salary has a slot amount of money. You’re able to sign them for between 80%-120% of that slot. Basically, everyone gets the 120%. That’s what I’m using in the Cap Sheet I created. It’s a four year contract with year three and four being team options.
