Cap Spaces

Cap space refers to the amount of room an NBA team has under the league's salary cap to sign new players or make trades. The salary cap is a limit on how much each team can spend on player salaries. If a team's total salaries are below this limit, the difference is their cap space. Having more cap space allows a team to pursue higher-profile free agents or negotiate better deals. Managing cap space is a key part of team building, balancing existing contracts while maintaining flexibility for future moves.
