Report: Salary cap could rise to $105 million in 2017-18
The NBA’s current salary cap is $63.065 million.
Larry Coon projects $67.4 million for next season.
When I projected future caps under the new national TV contracts, using admittedly conservative numbers, I got $87 million for 2016-17 and $94 million for 2017-18.
Either the league predicts more revenue beyond those TV contracts or the TV contracts pay more money sooner, because the latest projections are even bigger.
