How NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement will impact this offseason and beyond

New York Times  

The NBA Finals are over, and the NBA offseason is upon us. Updated financial figures for the 2023-24 NBA season nears the 10 percent maximum increase, league informed teams today: – $136 million salary cap, $2M higher than prior projection – $165 million luxury tax level, $3M higher than prior https://t.co/udaRDUBXRK — Shams Charania June 21, 2023 The penalties for teams that step past the second apron can be severe. If a team is above the second apron as of the last day of the regular season, starting with the 2024-25 cap year, then its first-round pick seven years out cannot be traded. If a team pulls off a trade between the end of the regular season and the start of the new cap year under the terms that are barred for teams above the first or second apron, it’ll also be hard-capped at the applicable apron level for the remainder of that salary-cap year and the one after that. The value of the non-taxpayer midlevel exception will increase to 9.12 percent of the cap, a 7.5 percent increase from its value in the current CBA; that’s projected to be worth $12.4 million next season.

NBA salary-cap outlook: An early glance at the 2025 offseason landscape

New York Times  

With the major business of the 2024 NBA offseason complete, the larger picture for summer 2025 and beyond looks far clearer as well. They should still be able to use the full $14.1 million nontaxpayer MLE while staying under the luxury tax, even without other major moves, so they will have some spending power. Their big question is whether $59 …

How the NBA’s new media rights deal could impact the current CBA — and the teams

New York Times  

As the NBA waits for its next media rights deal to kick in, there has been plenty of consideration on how it will impact the salary cap and player salaries. Usually, the salary cap grows in lockstep with basketball revenue, but the league’s incoming media rights deal is expected to create a situation where they get divorced. If there is …

NBA free agency starts … right now? A few deals we could see sooner rather than later

New York Times  

Are you ready for the NBA offseason? Here are five I’d expect to happen sooner rather than later: Tyrese Maxey, 76ers After making the All-Star team at age 23, Maxey is surely getting a max contract from the Sixers, a five-year deal worth a projected $205 million. DeRozan can technically agree to an extension before June 30 rather than a …

Could a $100 million annual NBA player salary be coming? Plus, the new CBA goes into effect

Leroux: CBA’s second apron has made expensive NBA teams even more aggressive

New York Times  

One of the early interpretations of the NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement was that it would significantly affect the behavior and spending of the most expensive teams in the league. An extremely punitive second apron that limits what front offices can do while also making additional salary even more costly with stronger luxury-tax hits paints a pretty clear picture. While …

Hollinger: NBA’s middle-class contract extension revolution; analyzing Giannis’ bag

New York Times  

It’s a middle-class revolution. There are exceptions — Philadelphia didn’t extend Maxey because it wants to have him in restricted free agency, where his piddling $13 million cap hold gives the Sixers far more cap space than a max extension would. This deal theoretically keeps him in Cream City until at least 2027, by which he’ll be 32 years old; …
