就是让球队更容易出手自己的大合同球员,让其交易价值小于其合同实际值
从而使交易差额小于15%


Base year compensation (BYC) prevents another salary cap loophole. Without BYC, a team over the salary cap that wants to trade a player, but can't because of the assigned player exception (which says teams can receive no more than 115% of the salary they trade away), could just sign the player to a new contract that fits within the desired range, then do the trade.  BYC says "if you re-sign a player and give him a big raise, then for a period of time his trade value will be lower than his actual salary."

BYC defines the salary that's used to compare players for compliance under the assigned player exception (see question number 67 for more information about the assigned player exception). Usually, the salary used for comparison is the player's actual salary.  But under either of the following circumstances, a different salary is used when comparing salaries for trading purposes:

The team is over the salary cap, used theLarry Bird or Early Bird exception to re-sign the player, and the player received a raise greater than 20%.
  
The team is over the salary cap, it extended the rookie scale contract of the player, and the player received a raise greater than 20%.
If either of the above apply, then the player is considered a base year player.  A player remains a base year player for two years (one year if the contract is signed on or after July 1, 2001).  When trading a base year player, the salary used for comparison is defined as follows:

Contract signed       First year BYC              
Before Jul 1, 2001    Previous year's salary or
                      50% of first-year salary in new contract*
July 1, 2001 or later Previous year's salary or
                      50% of first-year salary in new contract*
*Whichever is greater

Here is an example of a BYC calculation:  A player earned $2 million in 99-00, after which he became a free agent. Prior to the start of the 00-01 season, he signs a new contract (re-signing with his previous team, which is over the salary cap) starting at $9 million.  This player qualifies for BYC, so his trade value is the greater of his previous salary ($2 million) or 50% of his new salary ($4.5 million), or $4.5 million. So this player, who actually earns $9 million, is worth $4.5 million for trading purposes.

When comparing salaries for trade, teams use their own player's BYC value and the other player's full salary, even if the other player is also BYC.  Here is a simple example -- two $5 million players, both of whom are re-signed (by teams over the cap) for $10 million.  Both players become base year players whose base year amount is $5 million (50% of the new salary).  If the teams want to trade these players for each other they compare their player's base year amount to the other player's full salary.  So each team can take back a maximum of 115% plus $100,000 of their player's $5 million base year amount, or $5.85 million.  They compare $5.85 million to the other player's full $10 million.  $10 million is way too high, so this trade can't be done, even though the players' actual salaries match exactly.

If one of the teams in the above example was below the cap, the trade still couldn't be done.  For the team under the cap, their player would NOT be BYC, so they would be comparing $10 million to $10 million. But since the other team is over the cap, their player is BYC, and they'd still be comparing $5.85 million to $10 million, which prevents the trade from working.  (See question number 74 for more information about trading BYC players.)

For Larry Bird or Early Bird players, the player's BYC begins on the date he signs his contract.  For extended rookie scale contracts, the player's BYC begins on the July 1 preceding the first season of the extension.  For example, if an extension of a rookie scale contract is signed on 10/30/99, his BYC begins on 7/1/00, because the first season of the extension is 00-01.  If a team tries to trade an extended rookie between the date his extension is signed and the date it takes effect, his "trade value" for the receiving team is the average of the salaries in the last year of the scale contract and each year of the extension.  This is called the "poison pill provision."

A player's BYC goes away if the team falls below the salary cap, the player signs with a different team, or the player is traded.

There was an interesting twist to base year compensation caused by the 1998 lockout.  Since the start of the 98-99 season was delayed, contracts signed prior to the 98-99 season were signed in February 1999.  The duration of BYC is specified in calendar years and not seasons, so for contracts signed in February 1999, the BYC amount changed in February 2000, which is in the middle of the 99-00 season.  It then expired in February 2001, which was in the middle of the 00-01 season.  So for these players, in addition to the mid-season change, BYC lasted into the third season of their contracts.
