North Crowley (TX) had to send in Tyler Hastings (@TylerHastings08) to shoot free throws after an injury. He missed both… then hit the game-winning three with 10 seconds 🔥

CONTENT INCOMING!!

SIBA now including Rivalry Games & Games of the Week! Boost those stream numbers by adding it to your Twitch stream title! A little pocket change on the line in these games to make it interesting.

We've gotten alot of requests for Rivalry Game matchups, but we dont wanna cheapen the meaning of a Rivalry Game by making just anything a rivalry. 35 seasons in, we have plenty of history for rivalries. We dont do that hold hands sing Kumbaya corporate shit over here so let the hate & shit talk fly (2K only no personal shit, that'll get u sent to SIBA Court), personal beefs welcome just keep that slander in another discord and out of my chat. As far as GOTW, idgaf how much yall hate each other, only TOP TEAMS get GOTW. Or at least Games that have very serious playoff implications. We will be adding those throughout the season. LFG!!!

Season 35 begins the new Salary Cap era in SIBA. It is a revolutionary & paradigm shifting system that will continue to keep SIBA as the most competitively balanced NBA 2K 5v5 to ever exist. It ensures that only the most knowledgeable, dedicated, & hardest working General Managers will compete for championships. It also provides a realistic opportunity for bottom tier franchises to turn their fortunes around by working the draft & becoming salary cap savvy.

Under the new salary cap system, each pro franchise will have $100 of virtual money to spend on keepers. The keeper value of each player corresponds to their tier in the Liquid Cages. Those players who are not in the Liquid Cages discord server & thus have no tier are ineligible to be kept & must return to the draft after every season. For those who are in the Cages & have a tier (1-10), the keeper costs are as follows;

Tier 1 = $70
Tier 2 = $60
Tier 3 = $50
Tier 4 = $40
Tier 5 = $30
Tier 6 = $20
Tier 7 = $10
Tiers 8 thru 10 = $5

The only exception to these costs are players that are known as Dynasty Players. Those are players that were either drafted, traded for, or signed as free agents and retained in their rookie season. Any player rostered as a rookie will keep a significant discount against the cap for as long as they remain with their original franchise. Once the Dynasty Player is released, traded after their rookie season, or sent back into the draft, they are no longer considered a Dynasty player & their value will convert to a standard keeper. The keeper costs for Dynasty Players are;

Tiers 1-3 = $15
Tiers 4-6 = $10
Tiers 7-10 = $5

Regardless of keeper costs or Dynasty status, all keepers will still need to be retained using their previous draft pick cost. Even if your keeper is a Dynasty Player with a $15 max salary cap cost, if he is a 1st round keeper he will still continue to cost a 1st round pick. Under the old rules, all keeper players are to be returned to the draft except for one franchise player at the beginning of every new 2K release. With the new salary cap system, ALL Dynasty Players are eligible to be kept in perpetuity, so long as you have the draft collateral to keep them, & they are the ONLY players that are eligible to be kept. It still needs to be mutually agreed upon by the keeper players and owner/coach, but now only Dynasty Players can be retained from 2K to 2K & all other players must be returned to the draft pool, & there is no limit to how many Dynasty Players you can keep. Thus creating a real pathway to building a true Dynasty in SIBA.

A player's tier can be fluid from season to season; meaning, they can go up or down depending on extended performance. The tier changes & subsequent fluctuation of a player's salary cap keeper cost are determined by the SIBA Commissioner @2KsAdamSilver. Fluctuating keeper costs can catch a coach or owner off guard, altering & sometimes even derailing plans going from one season to the next. Because of this, an owner or coach can enter Salary Cap arbitration, a process in which an owner or coach can challenge the Commissioner's tier & cap cost change by sitting with a 3rd party arbitrator. The Commissioner will give his reasoning for the change, the owner/coach will give their reasons for disputing, & both parties agree to move forward with whatever decision the arbitrator makes. The arbitrator for all cases will be Liquid Cages owner/founder @cchoops246, who, as the owner/founder/primary operator of the Cages, will have the authority to override the Commissioner's decision regarding a player's tier. The arbitrator may find in favor of the League, in favor of the team, or may go in a different direction entirely & even increase the player's tier beyond that of the Commissioner's suggestion. Whatever the arbitrator decides is final.

Dynasty Players are not eligible for salary cap arbitration. The only players eligible for salary cap arbitration are players with 3 or more seasons of tenure under the same team trying to keep them, & keepers that are being moved UP a tier, not DOWN (why would you challenge a tier down decision?). The arbitration case must be heard BEFORE DRAFT DAY, not the DAY OF, and not during a season. The sooner an owner/coach applies for salary cap arbitration, the better.

This is the first off-season of the salary cap era, & it is already paying dividends. Players that have been with the same team currently since their rookie seasons are getting their Dynasty Player discounts retroactively honored, leading to quite a few teams holding onto the players they originally drafted fresh out of college. Trades involving frivolous exchanges of draft picks will reduce drastically, there will be more of an emphasis on player development rather than competing for established talent & "big names", & continuity and chemistry will be far more valuable than individual talent in the very near future as franchises adjust their pre-draft strategies accordingly. We believe the introduction of the salary cap brings SIBA one step closer to truly becoming THE NBA 2K League. The future for 5v5 pro am looks BRIGHT!
