Hard Cap Rules -

You can NEVER go over the hardcap at anytime during the season or offseason.

If you do the last player signed that put you over the cap will be cut.

No trades will be allowed if it puts you over the hardcap.

No resignings will be allowed if it puts you over the hardcap.

The only way you might go over the hard cap is if naturally your teams salary's the next season carry over and you are over. At that point you have until draft starts the following year to get back under or lose your most valuable player.

Just bumping this in case theres a question

looking at the celtics they we NOT over the hardcap after the season thus the losing best player rule wouldnt apply since this is happening between the end of FA and the start of the season.. According to the rules the way they are written the players signed that put you over the hardcap are released in this case the 4 FA's the celtics signed would be released and 4 new guys signed at contracts that keep them under. At least thats the way I see it..
