according to the game manual:

As part of the agreement giving you shared television revenue, you also agree to pay a minimum total salary, shown on the Economy page. If your players earn less than this total, this minimum salary will be deducted anyway. The salary floor depends upon your league's television revenue. The salary floor does not apply to new teams for their first sixteen weeks.

It is a game mechanic to stop teams just tanking the whole season with a hopeless side, ruining the fun for the other teams and making a massive profit. Everyone knows the NBA has a salary cap which is the maximum limit a team is allowed to spend on player salaries, what they don't know is that the NBA also has a salary floor.

The NBA salary cap for the 2010-11 season was $58.04 million.
The NBA salary floor, is 85% of the salary cap in 2011–12 creating a very tight margin.
Teams that violated the cap rules faced fines of up to $5 million, cancellation of contracts and/or loss of draft picks, and are prohibited from signing free agents for more than the league minimum.

Very strict, Buzzerbeater is much more free and open but you may as well have salaries near the salary floor as you will be paying them anyway.

thanks Ebene and Yoda for giving Jay a hand there.

personally i find it quite stupid that small nations like SA are subject to such a high salary floor. Purely because news teams start in the top division every 2nd week. Sure they have 14-16 weeks where they arent subject to the rule, but for a team to accumulate 250k in salaries in that small of a time is unrealistic. Especially when often new managers in small countries receive very little help when they first start and will probably squander a fair bit of their starting resources.

It doesn't make much sense to me.

hey shon. if you take a look at the boxscore, you will realise that your team went to OT hence why the player played 50+ minutes instead of 48.

how are you going with it all?
