Report: NBA predicts $89 million salary cap in 2016, $22 million jump. And it keeps going up.

Are you ready for the wild, wild West of free agency in 2016 and 2017.

Super Bowl Media Day will seem less chaotic in comparison.

Once the NBA players’ union shot down the idea of smoothing in the massive influx of money from the new NBA television deal, we knew the cap would spike. Now we get an idea — $22 million in 2016, and it’s only going to keep climbing from there. The brilliant Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress.com — if you’re not following him in the run up to the draft you’re doing it wrong — has the details.



This has so many impacts. This summer, even though the cap is only going up a few million, you’ll see teams dish out some large contracts — think Khris Middleton — who might not normally get that much, but because a max contract under this cap will not look so bad in two years teams will do it. Call it a market max deal.

On the other side, players are not going to want to sign four-year deals when they see how much more cash will be on the table in two years.

Meanwhile, teams that didn’t manage their money all that well will have cap space to chase free agents. Teams hoarding cap space will be able to go after multiple max players at a time — and there are a lot of teams in that category.

Chaos. It’s going to be Chaos.

MY NOTE:  Trader Danny thrives on chaos.


.

we do need to remember that a "max deal" is based on the % of the salary cap.

so when the writers says teams can go after more than one "max player" he may not be considering that said "max contract" may have increased from $18-20M/year to $24-27M.

everything is relative to the salary cap when it comes to a max deal.

I wish the salary cap would become $50 million because I think they play much better when they're under no economic pressure in acquiring little necessities such as personalized hyperbaric chambers, self-driving cars, private planes, a harem in every city, and a flotilla of warriors to ensure that their agents always get their way.

I'm just glad that all 60-90  teams will be granted (1) the same financial assets to work with so that there won't be any advantages for "big market" teams (2) massive solar heaters to ensure that no teams will suffer from being climatically disadvantages in attracting free agents.

What a wonderful NBA world that will be.
