So here's the breakdown. Salary Cap = $53.135 mill MLE = $5.215 mill Luxury Tax = $65.42 mill Also one last tidbit, they also tabulated Yao's max contract figure. His starting salary will be $12.45 mill. Five years with 10.5% raises puts it at about $75.3 mill guaranteed to the big fella. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2516704
Thanks for the info. Right now, how far over the cap are the Rockets? Also, what season will the Rockets conceivably fall under the cap?
I am sure it will be when Yao'a and McGrady's contracts are up because their salaries probabl only get bigger each year.
