Shhhhhh. You're going to upset people.
 
Bron getting that 1 year deal ready for the next offseason.

KD and Russ contracts going to be filthy.
 
The last CBA was kinda like putting a kids Flintstone bandage on a gunshot wound...

and like Puff said "Mo Money, Mo problems..."

If/when the cap goes up substantially next season, wouldn't that pretty much render a one year 24 million dollar contract, on a team with only a handful of guaranteed contracts, pretty much a moot point in terms of potential free agent signings? Am I understanding that correctly? Hypothetically speaking, that is

Players took a 12% cut last lockout because owners cried. Since then team valuations have sky rocketed and the NBA media deal more than doubled. Players are going to want more money. Owners are going to keep crying. Owners love the current CBA. They may make the players take more of a cut. Players are going to be painted as greedy for obvious reasons. Owners are going to be painted as smart. Players are going to feel media pressure + pressure for the lower salaried players. Owners will lock players out until they accept a bad deal.

The owners don't care about basketball. They'll force the players to cave.
 
The projections have multiple impacts. For starters, as **** notes, with revenue trending so sharply up, this could prevent a lockout in 2017, or at least a prolonged one.

Additionally, the extra room could help out teams like the Lakers who will have limited room with Kobe Bryant's extension, or the Bulls, should they decide to make a run at Carmelo Anthony. It gives everyone a little more room to pursue free agents, though it's not a life-changing difference.

It's also further signs that even in a season marred by injuries and largely uninspired play by the Eastern Conference, the game keeps growing financially, and the owners are reaping the benefits.

This is from April when the cap was projected to be only 66.5 mil. Should be higher than that with all this new revenue

After the current CBA was passed I'm pretty sure it was stated that the next one will be more difficult to agree on

A lockout and a strike are two totally different things.

I agree with you though.
 
Dan Feldman of Pro Basketball Talk has done the math based on the basketball related income and estimates that the increased income from the TV deals would push the NBA salary cap up by nearly $16 million from the $63 million figure for the 2014-15 season. ESPN previously reported similar potential growth.

The bump in salary cap hasn't been unexpected. Free agents this offseason have been quick to sign shorter deals with the anticipation of this news. LeBron James signed a two-year deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers that has a player option after the first season, but he is expected to discuss a new contract before the 2016-17 season once the television deal is in place. His shorter contract was decided upon with the media deal (and a potential lockout) in mind. James' new teammate, Kevin Love, agreed to be traded to the Cavs but without a handshake agreement for a contract extension.

Restricted free agent Greg Monroe of the Detroit Pistons didn't sign his expected contract and instead took a qualifying offer with the team that will make him an unrestricted free agent next summer. That could pay off if a near-max or max deal he was seeking this summer pays out more than it would if he had signed it this offseason. Likewise, Suns restricted free agent Eric Bledsoe, who is represented by James' agent, Rich Paul, has not yet signed with the team and is also a candidate to take the risk of a qualifying offer that will pay him $3.7 million next season. He would forego a reported offer of four years and $48 million by doing so.

Grantland's Zach Lowe, in discussing Bledsoe's free agency, noted that the NBA could perhaps guard against a large jump in the salary cap by smoothing the increase out, though how -- and if -- it would do so is still unclear.

Cap for 2015_16 will be about $79 million :wow:
