Last two salary cap thoughts before leaving hoops for the day:
– I don’t expect to get a 2021-2022 cap number this werk.
– I expect the 2021-22 cap number we ultimately DO get to be closer to the original projection ($125 mil) than the pandemic-influenced projection ($115 mil)

On Part 2: the cap is typically based on PROJECTED revenue, not revenue from the previous season (though they normally go hand in hand). There will be added escrow and other losses to cover, but if revenue is projected normally, the cap should be mostly normal.

Another move to ensure teams can sign players and players can be paid. Move evidence of great collaboration by NBA and NBPA.
