1993
espn writer john clayton notes that there were five major parts of the new cba: free agency, salary cap, rookie compensation, minimum salaries, and franchise tags. first, free agency guidelines returned to the way they were from 1993 to 2011. this means that a player needs four years of experience to become an unrestricted free agent, and three years of experience for restricted free agency. second, the salary cap is now $120.375 million, but unlike the previous cba, the new one initially has no per-team salary minimum. team salary floors would not return until the 2013 season, at which time they became 89% of the cap. for the 2011 season, teams had the ability to "borrow" $3 million in future salary cap space to use on a signed player. for the years following the 2011 season, teams have the option of "borrowing" $1.5 million each for up to three players. third, the rookie compensation was altered. there is a limit to the amount of money given to rookies, with the maximum total in 2011 being $874 million. first round picks receive four-year deals, with a fifth year option. in the second through seventh rounds, there are slotted four-year deals. fourth, the league minimum salary for players increased by 10–12 percent, based on tenure. fifth, a team's ability to place a franchise or transition tag on top players to retain his rights did not change. other major concerns included health and safety of players, as well as former player benefits and pensions. the new 10-year collective bargaining agreement runs through 2021, and has an estimated value of $12–$16 billion per year.
