Quote:the CBA has a projected 2020-21 salary cap of $115 million, with a luxury-tax threshold of $139 million. Amid the loss of revenue streams, some teams fear that the cap and tax could fall as much as $25 million to $30 million. Without the NBA and NBPA negotiating a new mechanism for the cap, the league could have 25 of its 30 teams stuck in luxury-tax payments based on projected payrolls -- something that would chill free agency and limit the ability of many organizations to operate in a normal manner in the marketplace.
For instance, the Golden State Warriors' projected tax penalty of $45 million would rise to $160 million before the start of free agency.
