Lakers going to get a chance to flex that TV money muscle


You're soon going to have to completely recalibrate how you think about NBA salaries. As you're no doubt aware, a massive salary-cap spike is coming, and at this week's Board of Governors meetings the league informed teams just how drastic the change could be, via ESPN's Marc Stein:

Sources told ESPN.com that, based on current projections, league officials expect the salary cap to increase from its current $63.1 million figure to $67.1 million next season, $89 million in 2016-17, and $108 million in 2017-18. The jumps represent massive increases largely triggered by the influx of television money that will begin pouring in after the 2015-16 season when the NBA's new nine-year, $24 billion TV deal kicks in.

…

‎Sources say that the league, though, has been careful to stress to its teams that these are not only mere projections but also contingent on the NBA and its players avoiding a work stoppage after the 2016-17 season. Both sides have the right to opt out of the current labor agreement by Dec. 15, 2016.

NBA teams, sources said, were informed Thursday of the latest salary-cap forecasts as well as ‎projected jumps in the luxury tax threshold from its current figure of $76.8 million to $81.6 million next season, $108 million in 2016-17 and $127 million in 2017-18.

The new TV deal is going to ruin the league for years.
Every top FA this year and would be stupid not to wait until the new deal kicks in to sign a long term contract. That means a bunch of top names will be able to team up and still make a ton of money....

A handful of super teams are gonna dominate the league until all the salaries on the league begin to even out

If OKC ownership isn't cheap they can sign another star player next to Durant and Westbrook.

Fair is fair. Big market teams is what generates the big-time revenue for the league and as a result they should get some input on current and future salary-structure of the league.

Sorry man. OKC will spend the money to sign another star. Also, the new Batman and Superman film will be awesome.
