It's been a while since I created the original version of this, so I updated it for 2026-27.
Note: these are the current projections for the Cap, Tax, Aprons and Exceptions.

Hope this helps people understand the various spending levels and restrictions with each. Send feedback!

The Jazz season has gone about as bad as it possible could. We're quickly nearing Dumb and Dumber territory here.

Utah Jazz star Lauri Markkanen has sustained a non-displaced fracture in his right hand and will be sidelined for at least one month, sources tell me and @BannedMacMahon.

That’s all 90 two-way spots filled at the e moment.

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Johni Broome have agreed to a two-way deal, league sources told @hoopshype. The former SEC Player of the Year and consensus All-American was the 35th overall pick of the 2025 NBA Draft and spent last season with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Really enjoyed this article.

A good reminder of how little we know behind the online personas of some of the people we follow and interact with virtually on a regular basis.

For @ringer, I wrote about Bob Windrem aka @NetsDaily, the 81-year-old former NBC newsman who is also the internet’s most prominent and prolific Nets blogger https://t.co/ZHLcGB8oT5

@Shafftybro2 It's not a trade bonus. It's his unlikely bonuses, which count against the apron. He has almost $3M in bonuses in his deal. And they can't be waived, unlike a trade bonus, which can be.

So, as they were pulling away. Got it! Thanks for confirming.

@KeithSmithNBA That’s cap it was 76-76 then they hit a bunch of 3’s

@themcoster So, as they were pulling away?

[Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA]

For the "it was just hot shooting" crowd, the Celtics outscored the Sixers 46-32 on 23-39 shooting in the paint.

Boston also held Philly to 41.8% shooting.

The Celtics didn't start launching threes at a high rate until they were pulling away.

This was an all-around whooping.

Last two games, Jayson Tatum didn't have to play in the fourth quarter. Barely had to play in the fourth quarter of this one.

Stealing that kind of in-game rest is huge. Adds up throughout the course of the season.

[Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA]

Hey @JamPackard is it a Boston Three Party?

[Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA]

Jayson Tatum ran away pointing for the made three from Paul George before the ball was even in PG's hands.

Dialed in.

[Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA]

Celtics are on fire from deep, but the defense has also been really good on the last several possessions too. Sixers have no airspace. Boston's rotations are right on time too.

[Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA]

The Celtics can't buy a call right now. And they aren't just chucking threes tonight. There's a lot of contact on these drives going uncalled.

HELLO JT!!! DAMN!
