How The NBA’s Explosive Salary-Cap Growth Could Change Contract Structures



Some interesting perspective on how the new NBA TV deals are about to send the salary cap sky rocketing. Seeing as how the salary cap is always a point of conversation with this team I thought this was relevant.

The NBA enacted a salary cap smoothing plan that will basically increase the salary cap by 10% each year starting in 2025-2026 and will probably increase by 10% each year through the end of the decade. I’m not banking on it but hopefully, maybe this means there is more of a chance we inch into the tax this year for more flexibility?

Conceivably we could just pay a fee for one season and then be out of the tax next year by doing nothing at all. Or if we have a really good season just stay in the tax. One can dream, right?

    My understanding is that Guys on max contracts is a percentage of the cap. If we get Jalen for less than the max on a 5 year it will be a good contract…. I think. But just remember the agents negotiating these contracts know way more about how any of this works than anyone.
