Lower cap also means lower max. The teams that are truly screwed are those locked into these supermax deals that are based on old figures. We "only" have Porzingis. Of course some medium-range contracts shift in value, but our cap situation is not distastrous.
Besides the altered reality that 75-90% of players with a player option will opt-in, the fun part will be the luxury tax threshold discussion between certain ownerships. Nets, Warriors, Rockets and 76ers are in deep sh**.
Just looking around for 2021/2022 with an assumed 105 cap (128 tax):
Atlanta $60M in capspace. Only John Collins extension.
Boston $25M in capspace. Hayward, Tatum, Theis and Kanter as free agents.
Nets $5M over the lux tax with three empty roster spots.
Charlotte $78M in capspace. Only Malik Monk extension. MJ finally winning as an owner.
Chicago $45M in capspace. Markkanen and OPJ up for extension.
Cleveland $35M in capspace. Drummond up for extension.
Dallas $25M in capspace. THJ up for extension.
Denver $5M in capspace with seven empty roster spots.
Detroit $65M in capspace. 11 empty roster spots.
Golden State $20M over the lux tax already with five empty roster spots.
Houston $4M under the lux tax with six empty roster spots.
Indiana $15M in capspace. Oladipo up for extension.
Clippers $5M in capspace. Six empty rosters without Harrell and Williams.
Lakers $65M in capspace. AD and Kuzma up for extension and 11 empty roster spots.
Memphis $25M in capspace. Crowder up for extension.
Miami $65M in capspace. Butler, Herro under contract. Bam up for extension. That f****** Riley is at it again.
Milwaukee $35M in capspace. Giannis up for extension. Eight empty roster spots.
Minnesota $25M in capspace.
New Orleans $65M in capspace. Lonzo and Ingram up for extension.
Knicks $85M in capspace. Only Ntilikina and DSJ up for extension. IT`S HAPPENING. Wiggins and Tobias Harris to the Knicks.
OKC $50M in capspace. Without Gallo, Adams, Schroeder...and nine empty roster spots.
Orlando $35M in capspace. Isaac, Fournier, Fultz up for extension.
Philly $6M in the lux tax. Without Richardson and six empty roster spots.
Phoenix $30M in capspace. Oubre and Saric up for extension.

A sign and trade is looking more like the way to go. It definitely makes me more open to extending THJ this offseason.
"There is so much uncertainty with the coronavirus pandemic, but one thing is for sure: the salary cap will be lowered, according to league sources," Marc Berman of the New York Post reported Saturday. "On the surface, that makes it advantageous to build around younger players on cheaper contracts."
