The free market is about to begin. The CBA recently released regulations on player draft, salary cap, employment and transaction management, which have changed a few times compared to last season. One of the biggest changes is that the number of foreign players changing foreign players during the season is not as unlimited as last season, but will be limited based on the number of foreign players registered before the start of the season; for example, if 4 foreign players are registered before the season, the number of foreign players will be replaced in the season will be 4 times. If 3 foreign players are registered before the season, the number of foreign players will be replaced in the season will be 3 times. In addition, the youngest player registration age can be relaxed to 16 years old. The CBA still sets up three windows, all of which can be registered, traded and signed free agents. The first one is from August 1 to August 31 before the season, and the last two are in the season.

The maximum salary is still 6 million

During the playoffs, some media revealed that the CBA may further cut salary in the new season. Now there is finally accurate news that the maximum salary in the new season is still 6 million!

The maximum salary has never been restricted. Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi both received an annual salary of 20 million yuan. Later, in order to protect the club, the CBA restricted the maximum salary of players to 8 million yuan, and later it further restricted to 6 million yuan. If it was reduced, the players would definitely not be satisfied. The maximum salary is 6 million yuan, and after paying the tax, there are only more than three million yuan left. The CBA salary is actually very low. Yang Hansen was selected by the NBA Trail Blazers. His rookie contract was $21.39 million for four years, and his first year salary was $4.42 million. If CBA players want to get a big contract, try to go to the NBA.

CBA strictly investigates Yin-Yang contracts

CBA always strictly investigates Yin-Yang contracts during the offseason. As long as they are discovered, clubs and players will be punished. The so-called "yin and yang contract" means that when the club attracts players to join, it will give some additional conditions, such as real estate, household registration, signature fees, etc.

During this offseason, many big-name players' contracts expired, such as Zhao Jiwei, Zeng Fanbo, Yu Jiahao, Wang Zhelin, etc., so the CBA once again emphasized the strict investigation of Yin-Yang contracts.
