Report: Salary cap for 2016–17 will be $94 million
The NBA salary cap for the 2016–17 season will be set at $94 million,
reports The Vertical’s Shams Charania.
根據The Vertical記者Shams Charania的報導，2016-17球季的薪資上限將設在9400萬元
Earlier this season the cap was expected to be set around $92 million. The
figure, which is calculated based on the league’s basketball-related income,
will be finalized in early July.
在今年球季稍早，薪資上限原本是預估為92M
這項數字是根據聯盟的籃球相關收入(BRI)來計算，將會在7月初確定金額
The salary cap is spiking this off-season, thanks in large part to the NBA’s
new media contracts, which are much richer than in previous years. The salary
cap for the current season is $70 million, which means the cap will jump
nearly $24 million.
薪資上限將會在休季期間大幅上升
這很大程度是歸因於NBA新的轉播合約，使得球團比起前幾年變得更加富有
而今年球季的上限為70M，意即成長數額將近24M
The large jump means many teams will have lots of salary space this
off-season, when players such as Kevin Durant, Al Horford and Mike Conley are
expected to test free agency.
當Kevin Durant, Al Horford和Mike Conley一如預期投入自由市場之後
如此大幅度的增加，許多球隊在休季期間將會有很多的薪資空間來利用
The new NBA league year begins in July.
新一季的NBA聯盟年度將從七月開始。
