Updated Figures for 2023-24:
Hard Cap: $206,719,500 ($68,906,500 over the cap)
Luxury Tax: $166,478,000 ($28,665,000 over the cap)

Luxury Tax Rules:
If you are over the luxury tax for a sim, you cannot claim in game box score achievements for that sim. It doesn't matter if you then get under the hard cap, that money is dead. All other money is still available to you, just not box score claims for that sim. The automatic script will account for this and won't show achievements of teams above the luxury tax.

Hard Cap Rules:
You have until the trade deadline to get under the hard cap. If you are over the hard cap after the trade deadline, penalties will be enforced. While you are over the hard cap, you cannot accept a trade that puts you further over the hard cap. All penalties are subject to change.

Penalties for first-time offenders include:
- Loss of all other league cash earned for the season
- Loss of MLE and LLE in upcoming free agency
- Forfeiture of your next first round draft pick
- Loss of ability to use league shop for a full season

Penalties for second-time offenders include:
- All first-time penalties
- Your best player will be suspended for the rest of the season and given an expiring contract

Previous Offenders List (Do Not Join This List!):

Memphis Grizzlies (1) -- League owns their 2013 2nd round pick.
Minnesota Timberwolves (1) -- League owns their 2016 2nd round pick.
Boston Celtics (1) -- League owns their 2021 2nd round pick.
Phoenix Suns (1) -- League owns their 2019 2nd round pick.

The fate of these two teams has officially been sealed. They will incur all the first-time offender hard cap penalties (see above for more specifics).
