@Douglar

How much would a potential cap increase of 2mil raise the tax threshold and apron etc?

it would raise it by just a little more than $2million

The Cavs still have a $5.2 million dollar trade exception?

I'm pretty sure the Cavs burned up all of their trade exceptions to bring in Mozgov.

That's what I thought. It's still in the second post in the salary notes.

The better question is how much would it cut the luxury tax bill? if salaries are fixed, increasing the tax threshold by 2 million will save 7.5 million in tax. However, LeBron, Love and Kyire will all get a fixed amount of the salary cap so their tentative salaries increase with a higher cap this year. So it's probably just a 750k tax savings combined with 1.8 million more in actually salary. That's Kyrie's max at 25%, Love at 30%, LeBron at 35%, so a combined 90% of that 2 million increase goes to their salaries.

Of course, the flip side of that is a $2 million higher cap means there is also more revenue.

That's Kyrie's max at 25%, Love at 30%,

Basic premise is pretty close. Two things I'd add--

1) Lebron's max salary is going to be 120% of last year's salary because he's a non-bird free agent. That's going to be higher than the 10 year vet free agent salary.
2) The salary for Love & Irving will be calculated using the pre-2005 salary cap formula. Net result is that the salaries will be a little lower than the straight 25% & 30%. They will be more like 23.55% & 28.25%.

I expect the salary cap to be about $68Mil for next year. That means Kyrie's gets about $16Mil next season, Love gets $19.2Mil and Lebron gets pretty close to $25Mil.

LeBron doesn't get a 20% raise. The non bird excetion means we can spend up to 120% of his previous salary to sign him, but his max is still the greater of the the 35% max salary or 105% of his previous year's salary. The table in the coon faq is a bit confusing about the rules for max contract players.

OK, thanks. A 5% raise would be $21,676,620. 35% of the 2004 salary cap formula comes out to roughly $22,400,000. I updated the sheet.

Thought we used Disabled Player Exception (from Andy) for Mozgov, and we still had the Bogans exemption through September. I acknowledge I could be wrong -- memory is fuzzy.

Bogans exception went into the Mozgov trade. It was designed exactly for that use.

Varejao DPA exception + Alex Kirk, Lou Amundson and Lance Thomas went into the Smith/Shump trade. I think the Cavs received a $4Mil trade exception for Waiters that is good for another 6 months..

Haywood contract, MMLE, possibly a Waiters TPE. Get off your hands, Griffin, and start spending some money, Gilbert!

I figured it'd be a good idea to have somewhere that we can refer to and keep track of the picks we've acquired and update the list when we acquire more in the future since we're in the rebuilding process.

Draft Rights for:

• Cedi Osman (May play in Turkey this year)
• Rakeem Christmas
  
• Sir’Dominic Pointer
  
• Milan MacVan (Probably will play overseas this year)
• Sasha Kaun (Says he will come to NBA this year )
• İlkan Karaman (likely retired)
• Edin Bavčić (likely retired)

Does anyone know of a good place to find a list of all of the 76ers assets in this format? I'd be curious to see a list of the insane amount of assets they've compiled over the last few years.

And a bit OT, but does anyone know when they actually plan on converting assets into a competent roster?

That is a good list. And Holy Shit! Philly can have possible 4-5 good picks next year. Lakers top 3 protected, the Miami pick we are all familiar with (top 10), OKC top 15 protected, their own and Denver's 2nd rounder which will be a very early 2nd. Looks like they can draft at least 3 more Centers next year.
