Quote:the CBA has a projected 2020-21 salary cap of $115 million, with a luxury-tax threshold of $139 million. Amid the loss of revenue streams, some teams fear that the cap and tax could fall as much as $25 million to $30 million. Without the NBA and NBPA negotiating a new mechanism for the cap, the league could have 25 of its 30 teams stuck in luxury-tax payments based on projected payrolls -- something that would chill free agency and limit the ability of many organizations to operate in a normal manner in the marketplace.
For instance, the Golden State Warriors' projected tax penalty of $45 million would rise to $160 million before the start of free agency.
They'll come up with a new mechanism. The very bad news is that the season, and therefore impending free agency, will likely have to be pushed back (banghead). I wanna watch more Luka!!!11!!1!1!
Viewership tanked in the bubble. The farther it gets pushed back, the better.
