NBA 2K20 – Contracts – Tips

Contracts are probably one of the most confusing and complex parts of the game. They can easily feel overwhelming, but a good practice, just like with anything with money, is to be frugal.

• Really, you don’t have to worry about the cost of individual contracts too much, but it is something to keep in mind. What you really need to keep an eye on is your cap space. If you go over budget, you can end up losing a key player you didn’t want to lose.

• What you really need to pay attention to is the contract length, contract options, and how it affects the cap. Sometimes giving a player a max contract can be worth it when they’re your franchise player. But, you have to keep in mind if you’re a small market team, you may not be able to afford another star player, and you’d really have to focus on your system.

• Team options are always better than player options. Okay, in real life I want players to have that freedom, but in this game, I want to decide whether a player stays or leaves. The worst thing that can happen is a below average player accepting a player option that you didn’t want and as a result, you can’t afford the players you wanted in free agency.

• Bird years is a pretty confusing concept, but basically it means you can sign a player for over your salary cap if they’ve played for you for over three consecutive years. It’s extremely useful if you have a young core and they all came in at the same time. If you can hold on to your young core for three years, you can resign them for over your budget and then sign some veterans for the minimum to fill out the rest of the roster.
