I guess they could add in No FA signings if over the luxury cap and add weird mid level exceptions and stuff . Doubt they want to go there
They have tried everything to curb spending but a forced cap
It’s coming

Under the NBA system the Dodgers, as repeat offenders over the second apron, would literally not even be allowed to sign Tucker. The would be restricted to signing their own drafted players and using veteran minimum contracts. Only way they could add a Tucker type player is a trade, but as repeat offenders they couldn't use first round picks (they are frozen), and could only add what they give back, so to sign Tucker for $60 million per they would have to send $60 million per in contracts out. NBA system is often viewed as being perhaps too punitive, but it's working so far to improve competitive balance.
