I didn’t see this posted anywhere. Cap projection looks about $1.0mm smaller than previous estimate (Woj-bomb below). So, among other things, our committed salary next season is further into the tax and closer to the first apron. Spotrac has the updated number. Something to bear in mind…we are currently a mile away from the second apron for next season.
But, take on some trade spread in a deal in the next week…add a TP MLE player this summer (or use it to retain DJJ) and then do a big trade using expiring salaries that also has a trade spread and you get to the second apron pretty quickly. So, one consideration for any current trade has to not only be current season LT, but the limitation is puts on our ability to manage the cap this summer and subsequent summers.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Tuesday that the NBA is projecting a $141 million salary cap for next season. That's an increase on the current number... but it's $1 million below the previous projection of $142 million.
