The way I do it is go to the "Upcoming Free Agents" list and scour for expiring contracts that are big for players with low ratings, and habitually dump these bad contract in the off-season. Or trade 2-3 bad contracts for one good player with a really big salary. And from there on, rely on the minimum free agents and mid-level exception type players to keep my team going. Recently, I traded Beidrins, an MLE pg and a rookie for LeBron James. And since I traded the MLE player away, I was able to sign Rafer Alston. So that I didn't have to think about the salary cap anymore. My team is actually has a -90mil salary cap. Basically, my team looks now like this:
D. Howard/Oden
Gasol/Horford
LBJ/Melo/Marvin Williams
Kobe/B. Roy/
Paul/Alston + simmed player
YEAH BOY!
