Bird Rights:
Under certain circumstances, NBA teams have the option to exceed the salary cap to re-sign their own players. This exception came to be known as the " Larry Bird " clause.

NBA teams are allowed to exceed the payroll maximums for a variety of reasons. One of the exceptions to the cap was created to allow teams to re-sign their own players.
