    Luxury Tax

    So Kevin Love is a free agent and I'd like to sign him to a max contract, going over the cap into luxury tax. But I cant even offer him more than my 15.26 mil that hits the cap ceiling. How do I go over that cap into luxury to sign him? The game will not allow me to offer more than the 15.26 Mil and it's confusing me.

    You have to have bird rights in order to sign someone over your salary cap. So it would have to be a player who was on your team the year before who was eligible for the Bird exception.

    "In essence, the Larry Bird exception allows teams to exceed the salary cap to re-sign their own free agents, at an amount up to the maximum salary. To qualify as a Bird free agent, a player must have played three seasons without being waived or changing teams as a free agent. Players claimed after being amnestied have their Bird rights transferred to their new team."



    If you don't have Bird rights then you cant go over the cap to sign him.

      Try to change the part with the 4.5% progression . Change until you are on bird 7.5% and try to go over the cap .
