#SLOE: People's Basketball Sim League

1. A team's "minimum tax" is locked in at the trade deadline - per the rules for in-season Free Agency here: viewtopic.php?t=5222 - "Players may not be released after the Trade Deadline unless a squad has to cut a player because a pre-trade deadline trade put their roster over 15 players and they must cut down to 15 or they have 8 or more injured players and signing enough players to get them to the minimum 8 healthy players cannot otherwise be accomplished (I.e., "involuntary cuts only")." So you can't cut players after the Trade Deadline to reduce your tax bill.
2. If a team's salary increases after the trade deadline (e.g., you have to sign a player to get to 8 healthy players due to injury), your "minimum tax" is based on the new salary total.
3. The above two points mean a team's final tax bill is based on whatever the team's highest salary total is at any time after the trade deadline has passed.

Bumping this thread with a reminder that "minimum tax bills" are established as of the Trade Deadline at Sim 8 (one real life week from the date of bump) so teams that wish to maneuver on their tax bill need to make roster moves prior to the trade deadline.

Bumping with minimum tax bills (locked in as of Sim 8/Trade Deadline).
