Do Not Sell My Personal Information
NBA At 2: Talking MAX Contracts

By: Jason Fleming Last Updated: 2/22/10 12:33 PM ET


The MAX Contracts: So who really will have the cap space to make a maximum contract offer this summer? There are a few teams in play here, but there are also a couple points that have to be made before we get to that list.

First off, the amount of the salary cap for 2010-11 is a major factor. This year's cap was set at $57.7 million, and there have been rumors the cap would be set anywhere from $51-$55 million for 2010-11. Because max contracts are determined as a percentage of the cap, it's currently a variable target.

The second issue is the percentages themselves. Maximum contract percentages are not equal for all players; it depends on a player's years of NBA experience, and it breaks down like this:

Years of Experience

0-6 years: 25% of the cap
7-9 years: 30% of the cap
10 or more years: 35% of the cap

Now we have to tie those two pieces of information together, and determine what the starting salaries would be for a max contract (that is, the salary for the first year of the contract). We'll stick with whole numbers here, in the range of the possible cap mentioned above.

$51 Million Cap

0-6 years: $12,750,000
7-9 years: $15,300,000
10 or more years: $17,850,000

$52 Million Cap

0-6 years: $13,000,000
7-9 years: $15,600,000
10 or more years: $18,200,000

$53 Million Cap

0-6 years: $13,250,000
7-9 years: $15,900,000
10 or more years: $18,550,000

$54 Million Cap

0-6 years: $13,500,000
7-9 years: $16,200,000
10 or more years: $18,900,000

$55 Million Cap

0-6 years: $13,750,000
7-9 years: $16,500,000
10 or more years: $19,250,000

OK, so now we have the numbers…so who do you spend the money on? There are a few players who will be in the maximum contract conversation, so let's see where they fall on the experience scale.

LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers: 7 years
Dwyane Wade, Miami HEAT: 7 years
Chris Bosh, Toronto Raptors: 7 years
Amar'e Stoudemire, Phoenix Suns: 8 years
Carlos Boozer, Utah Jazz: 8 years
Joe Johnson, Atlanta Hawks: 9 years

(As you can see, there is a reason why James, Wade, and Bosh all signed those less-than-max-length extensions to their rookie contracts – it was a good business decision.)

That's not saying all of these players could, should, or will get maximum contracts this summer, just that these are the names that will come up in the discussions. For example, James is a no-brainer, but Boozer may not be – it's completely subjective, but these names will be in the conversation.

It should also be noted that a free agent is always eligible to earn 105% of his previous contract in the first year of a new contract. This is regardless of whether he signs with his previous team or a new team. Let's look at that list of top free agents and see where each lands on the scale with that taken into account, regardless of where the cap is set:

Player: Previous Salary / 105%

James: $15,779,912 / $16,568,908
Wade: $15,779,912 / $16,568,908
Bosh: $15,779,912 / $16,568,908
Stoudemire: $16,378,325 / $17,197,241
Boozer: (Not applicable, since making less than max currently and 105% is also less than max)
Johnson: $14,976,754 / $15,725,280

So now, who will have the space? There are plenty of caveats here: this does not include cap holds on free agents or for exceptions (these would have to be renounced to get the full amount of cap space) or the cap holds for draft picks and the rights owned to players playing in Europe (think Ricky Rubio and the like). Anyway, on to the list of teams that will have at least $16.6 million in cap space, at each of the possible salary cap amounts outlined above:

$51 Million

Chicago Bulls
Los Angeles Clippers
Miami Heat (this includes Wade's Player Option)
New Jersey Nets
New York Knicks
Sacramento Kings

$52 Million

All of the above, plus…
Minnesota Timberwolves

$53 Million

All of the above

$54 Million

All of the above

$55 Million

All of the above

The Washington Wizards and Oklahoma City Thunder are sitting just outside of the range of eligibility; they'd have to hope for a much higher than expected cap or trade a contract around the time of the NBA Draft in order to get into the mix. It's also worth noting all of the current players can re-sign with their current teams regardless of their team's cap situation.

It also needs to be noted the Knicks have room for two max contracts, as do the Miami HEAT (who would already have the inside track on Wade).

So there you go…these are the things to keep in mind when the speculation for free agency 2010 begins. Check out our salary pages for plenty of details.

Minor quibble: That guy doesn't seem to realise that that there are 2 salary caps, the old pre 2005 48.04% BRI cap and the current post 2005 49.5% BRI cap. While the current cap is used to compute team salary cap totals, the old cap is still used to compute max salary. That means his max salary numbers are about 3% higher than they should be.

As things stand right now, I estimate that the salary cap will be about $56Mil next season and the Luxury tax will be about $68Mil. That means the Cavs will likely be right at the tax line even if they let Shaq, Z, and Jawad walk.
 
The New York Yankees might be world champions of baseball, but are the Bronx Bombers the world champion in sports spending?

A new study ranked all the world's professional sports teams by salary and, indeed, the Yankees came out on top globally. The United States is well-represented as well. Seven American teams are in the top 10, six of which qualified for the playoffs last year. In fact, nine of the teams on the list that qualified for the playoffs of their respective leagues. Maybe spending does matter.

The list is courtesy the Annual Review of Global Sports Strategies, as published by sportingintelligence.com. Dollar amount given is an approximation of the average annual salary of a first-team player on the team.

8. Cleveland Cavaliers -- NBA (USA) -- $4,940,707

Bow before THE international sport, boys and girls ...

2. Real Madrid -- La Liga (ESP) -- $6,333,591
3. Barcelona -- La Liga (ESP) -- $6,082,940
4. Chelsea -- English Premier League (GBR) -- $5,361,957
 
Ken Berger:

The 2010-11 luxury tax threshold is now estimated at $68m, down slightly from this season's $69.9m

David Stern places revised '10-'11 cap figure at $56.1 million, a boon to teams pursuing free agents.

Douglar, are you a witch? :rolleyes:
 
RED = TEAM OPTION
BLUE = PLAYER OPTION or EARLY TERMINATION OPTION
GREEN = QUALIFYING OFFER
ORANGE = NOT FULLY GUARANTEED
Italics = Some flavor of Qualifying Veteran Free Agent Exception


The total doesn't include all of Delonte's salary or the exceptions for Bron, Z, or Shaq.
I'm assuming that Lebron opts out, but he doesn't have to.
I'm assuming everyone else will pick up their options and that the Cavs keep Powe.

There are lots of questions about Lebron's salary options.

If the Salary cap is going to be $56Mil next year, that means the max free agent salary starts at $16,304,400 since they use 30% of the old 48.04% BRI cap, whish is about 2% less than the current salary cap. The max raise on a free agent contract is 8% of the first year salary.

[edit] However any team can offer a player at least a 5% raise on his previous salary, so Lebron's effective Max FA salary ends up at $16,568,909

If Lebron doesn't opt out and signs an extension before July first, he can sign an extesion starting at $17,149,244 with 10.5% raises.

[edit] But the first year of the extension can't me more than the amount he would get as a free agent. That means Lebron can only get a 5% raise on the first year of his extension

[edit] Raises in an extension are 10.5% of the last year of the exsting contract, not 10.5% the first year of the extension.

Here are the different 5 year deals --

I think there is enough money on the table that Lebron's next contract will go through Danny Ferry's desk.

But I forgot all the stuff with Lebron's trade kicker and the problems that it caused where the CBA let them write a contract that contradicted other language and they did some wierd stuff but in the end let him keep his trade kicker.

First, all the best money options for Lebron involve exercising his option. He's probably going to take it. But then Lebron is under contract, so he's likely to work out some agreement before taking his option.

It's in the Cavs best interest to stall. Lebron loses out on up to $23Mill over 5 years if he declines his option and signs as a free agent. So when it gets close to July first, the pressure is going to be on Lebron to take his option

If Lebron really wants to leave, he's going to have to convince Gilbert to trade him.

It is simplest if he can work out a trade that's conditional on him taking his option before July first. He can't get traded without exercising his option, so Lebron can control his fate.

If there is no deal, Lebron might have to take his option and hope that something works out after July first. That puts the Cavs in the drivers seat and Ferry can trade him wherever he wants, but of course an unhappy Lebron has a lower trade value than a happy Lebron.

I'm just hoping that Lebron realises that it's too big of a mess, takes his option and an extension, and doesn't go all Vince Carter next year.

If that's true, then taking the option also gives him a PR victory. He can go back to the Cavs, show his loyalty, and at the same time let everyone know that this is "one last chance" and he will need to win quickly. Instead of a quitter, he's all of a sudden a hometown hero who stays with the team against all odds... Plus, it would keep half the league in holding pattern again.
 
I had to change the Lebron cotnract numbers because I found out a few more details about extensions--

* The first year on an extension can't exceed the maximum salary the player can receive if he were to sign a new contract that year as a free agent.
*Raises in an extension are limited to 10.5% of the salary in the last year of the existing contract.

Here are the possible Lebron contracts that I see:

Gibson take better than west,i love gibson but i think its too much
