Hoops Rumors is continuing the process of creating a glossary of terms related to trades, free agency, and other areas of the NBA's Collective Bargaining Agreement. If you're confused about our use of phrases like "Bird rights," "mid-level exception," or "cap holds," this reference tool should help clear things up.
We've been adding entries to this page over the last several months, and will continue to fill it out over the next few months. The link to our glossary can be found anytime on the right sidebar under "Hoops Rumors Features." If there's a specific concept you'd like us to cover, please let us know. Here's what we have so far:
- 10-Day Contracts
- Amnesty Provision
- Bi-Annual Exception
- Bird Rights
- Cap Holds
- D-League Assignments
