NBA Players are about to get paid. No cap smoothing!

NBA teams using internal data are projecting the salary cap to jump to between $88 million and $92 million per team, sources told ESPN. To compare, this season the cap is set at $63 million and next season it is projected to land at about $66 million. To put it into perspective, the largest salary-cap jump in history is $7 million in one season. What happens in 2016 could triple that leap.
Owners have been trying to avoid such a spike because it would dramatically raise salary levels for free agents that season. James, for example, could take his salary from about $22 million next season to around $30 million if he signs for the maximum salary in 2016.

Don't get why they are so opposed to this because it only really helps one class of free agents and really hurts like 85% of the league.
Oh yeah that's right the new VP signed a rather short deal..

I would be a cheapskate owner. We'd sign average players for average salaries and I'd make bank. Pay the starting five 6-7 million a year each, then the reserves at 2-3 million a year each, and be done with it.

You have to reach a certain salary floor

Whatever it is, I'd be there.

It is basically what the 76ers are doing right now

90 percent of the cap, so you'd have a team that can't compete and you'd profit 8 mil, but you'd lose more than 8 mil in ticket sales with that shitty idea.

Didn't Sterling used to do that back when the Clips were just god awful?
His profits were through the roof for putting such a shitty product out there every year.

Get ready for a lockout
Posted on 3/11/15 at 3:53 pm to NorthGAVol
Absolutely. His team was a blank check for him.

Durant is gonna get paid too. And pretty much every team will be able to offer him.

They won't get paid as handsomely as people think.
The owners aren't going to give up their piece action. They will lock the gates and force the NBAPA to the table and then get everything they want in percentages.
Silver will go from loved to hated by the players. It's business, why raise labor costs when you really do not need to.

I don't think every player will get paid, but I think the very top free agents will absolutely start a bidding war.

The last lockout the players have the owners were saying they weren't making money. Now it's 55/45 in favor of owners. Since then the NBAs worth have shot up tremendously. Players have the leverage now. Gonna be closer to 50/50 split I would assume

They won't have any leverage
Costs have gone up insurance etc
Plus now they can use line items the owners won't give up anything, not should they. The NBAPA and NFLPA is full of dummies.

That depends on what percentage of revenue is made up by ticket sales.

This is true, but I think Elhassan said that each home game is about 1mil in revenue from ticket sales and concessions (those aren't split amongst teams). This is why owners wouldn't agree to shorten the season.
Also, as far as the lockout goes, I think the next negotiation is in 2017.

I believe there is also a salary floor you have to exceed.

Why do you say that?
Most owners still have other sources of wealth and most players still only have basketball to fall back on as a career.
Status quo is the same by my count.

Gonna see a lot of 1 year deals this off season.
