A team’s roster will be comprised of the following positions:
PG
SG
SF
PF
C
UTIL

IL

IR

The minimum number of players a team can have is 12.
The maximum number of active players a team can have is 13.
The IL positions are for players on a team’s roster that doesn’t play in the NBA at that moment, playing in the D-League, Overseas or simply FA. If a team has already 13 active players, in order to activate a player from the IL, an active player must be waived or traded.
All the ESPN Roster Requests only becomes active for the next weekly matchup and are processed Sunday night.
The IR positions are for players that are injured and IR eligible in the ESPN league. Once a player is no longer IR eligible a team has one week to reactivate him and make proper roster adjustments.
All the roster spots count to Salary Cap.
Starting Rosters
The starting Rosters will be current as of the 10th of September 2012 with the exception of this year's rookie draft class, and can be found on League Tools - Original Rosters
Dropping Players
Teams can release a player to the waiver wire, where he will stay for 48 hours (during the regular season). While he is on waivers, other teams may claim him, for his existing salary. The team with the highest waiver priority gets the player.
If he is not claimed, he is said to have "cleared waivers", and is treated like any unrestricted free agent, able to sign with any team other than the team that waived him.
Each season's starting waiver priority is in the reverse order of the team standings from the previous season (in this first season, we use the reverse standings of the real NBA). After you win a waived player, you are placed at the bottom of the waiver priority.
If a player is not claimed by another gm, the team that waived him has to absorb 75% of the current year salary in Cap penalty, 50% for an eventual 2nd year and 25% for the remaining years (if they exist).
Player X – 10.00M / 11.00M / 12.10M / 13.31M
Cap penalty – 7.50M / 5.5M / 3.03M / 3.30M
The only exceptions to this rule are:
- The start of the league where any team can drop any player it wants without any kind of Cap penalty until the start of the Rookie Draft
- Every year, the Post-Draft Period where a team can drop players with a maximum of 3.00M remaining in their contracts only to make room for its signed draft picks
- When a new GM takes over a team, he can drop 1 player from his roster without any cap hit in the first 48 hours. That player cannot be signed back or traded to that team until next offseason.
- If a player retires, he can be dropped anytime without any cap penalty
- For Rookies, as long as a team does not officially sign them, they can be dropped anytime with no penalty (deadline is the day before the start of NBA)
