The delta is universal. The rule that binds is not.
The Team KR delta computed the same everywhere, then wrapped in each league's rulebook.
One engine values the move, in any league.
Before any rulebook enters, the question is: what does this move do to the team. Team KR re-runs, and a plus-three is a plus-three in Los Angeles, Barcelona, or Shanghai. Composite move.
This is the constant. Whatever the money rules, the on-court value of a player to a roster is one universal number, so any league speaks the same currency. The delta is the part that travels. Everything else is local law.

Same move. Three leagues. Three different questions.
Once the delta is known, the league decides whether you can act on it. Wrap the correct rulebook around the same plus-three move, and one clean decision becomes three unrelated ones.
The player is worth the same plus-three in all three, and the decision is unrecognizable across them: a cap-and-apron puzzle, a conversation with the owner's wallet, a two-slot quota bet. The rulebook swaps and the delta holds. The value is global. The constraint is local, and it changes everything downstream of the number.

Value in, correct constraint around it, pieces that feed the ceiling.
A real build is the universal delta wrapped in the league's actual law, plus the pieces that set the ceiling and fill the bench, assembled under one rulebook at a time. A composite EuroLeague build.
In a hard-cap league the ceiling row would be the apron, and the money market would run through matching salaries instead of a fee. Same four pieces, different law in the middle, always the rulebook the team actually plays under. Universal value, local constraint, assembled correctly.
Illustrative read on the real wrapped-build structure (universal delta, league ceiling, cross-league money market, the operator). Composite build, generic league, demonstration figures.
The value is the constant and the constraint is the variable, and confusing the two builds a roster brilliant on paper and illegal in practice.
Value the move once. Bind it by the right rulebook.
Compute the universal delta, and wrap each league's actual constraint around it.
