    Different ways money is distributed over a contract. Front loaded, 10% increase over year, 5% increase over years, same every year.

    Option: team, player
    Team = the team can decide whether to accept this year of a contract
    Player = the player can decide whether to accept this year of a contract


    No trade:
    Player cannot be traded

    What are bird years (i might be wrong on this one)
    After playing for the same team for (i think) 3 consecutive years, that team can go over the salary cap
    and/or us the midlevel exception to resign a player.

        Perhaps the most well-known of the NBA's salary cap exceptions, it is so named because the Boston Celtics were the first team permitted to exceed the salary cap to re-sign one of their own players (in that case, Larry Bird). Free agents who qualify for this exception are called "qualifying veteran free agents" or "Bird Free Agents" in the CBA, and this exception falls under the auspices of the Veteran Free Agent 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. This means a player can obtain "Bird rights" by playing under three one-year contracts, a single contract of at least three years, or any combination thereof. It also means that when a player is traded, his Bird rights are traded with him, and his new team can use the Bird exception to re-sign him. Under the 2011 CBA, Bird-exception contracts can be up to five years in length, down from six under the 2005 CBA.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-coon_11282011_5-3>[6]</SUP>
