[Source: rec.sport.basketball.pro (Patricia Bender)] 1999-2000 NBA Salaries The basis of this information comes from USA Today (12/8/00) [they rounded to the nearest $10,000], but I have changed/adjusted a number of players' salaries concerning information I know (lots of Mavs salaries, 1st round draft picks from the past 3 seasons, minimum, ...). Note: Players with 5 or more years of experience and signed to minimum contracts only count $548,500 against a team's cap (the league pays any amount over that amount). I've listed the player's actual salary in the listing and for the average, but used the $548,500 amount for the team payroll. The league salary cap for 2000-01 is $35.5 million. The league has a soft cap - which means teams can go over the cap to re-sign their own free agents, thus, all but Chicago and the LA Clippers are over the cap. ---- Team Payrolls Team Payroll 1.
