I honestly think that retaining salary in trades would increase trade frequency and league activity by opening new possible trades.
Maybe make the maximum retention 40% since we already have an increased salary cap or add how many years you retain the salary for.
Id be willing to keep track of the retention in a thread
Proposal:
- Salary up to 50% can be retained.
- If salary is retained, it must be retained for ALL remaining years of a contract
- One player can only have salary retained in 2 transactions (max reduction is 25% of original)
- Minimum salary can also not be less than the league minimum based on experience.
- Each team can only have X number of retentions at one time (this means a team retaining salary, not receiving the player on reduced salary)
- A new section will be added under buyouts on every teams rosters, named Salary Retained, this will list the players that are no longer on the team but have retained salary in a deal. (as are all things for a team's roster)
-Contracts that are bought are no longer retained by the team(s) that retained salary
Benefits:
- Previously untradeable players who were simply overpaid will now be able to be moved
- Contenders can more easily do salary for salary deals without finding empty space to move
- Promote "3-way" type deals where a rebuilding team with cap space could retain salary and get some compensation while 2 cap-strapped teams can get assets they want.
- Easy to track, rosters have to be kept up-to-date at all times so GMs will do it once they switch up their roster after a completed trade.
Disadvantages:
- Teams who have previously dumped players for lesser value because of bad contracts lose out.
- New section for TAB to track on rosters.
Example trade with salary retention:
To Team A:
Chris Stewart 3,000,000 (2017)
To Team B:
Nice Things
Salary Retained: 2,000,000 (2017)
