The NBA has informed teams that the league is projecting a $165 million salary cap for 2026-27 -- $1M lower than previous outlooks due to a reduction in local media revenue, sources tell ESPN. Minimum salary $149M, tax level $201M, first apron $209M, second apron $222M also $1M lower each.

Angry gambling companies reportedly played a part in Adam Silver punishing teams for tanking, per @BenGolliver
“Over-unders are at stake. You know, player props are at stake. If coaches are just willy-nilly not playing guys the entire game, and they’re not letting people know in advance that they plan to do that, you’re going to have a lot of angry gamblers and a lot of angry gambling companies as well.”

Hi.
The reason there’s so much outrage about Utah and not other NBA tankers?
GAMBLING.
Bettors know if players are being DNP’d and can adjust.
They CANT adjust when players randomly sit the final quarter.
And the NBA will respond.
Again, it’s about gambling.
Thx
"...the Jazz removed two of the team's top players...before the beginning of the 4Q and did not return them to the game"
1) Ok so if Will Hardy sits Markkanen the entire 3Q and plays him in the 4Q instead, is that acceptable?
2) They won that Heat game!
3) They won that Heat game because Brice Sensabaugh is nails and came through with several big shots. Is he not permitted to be the focal point of an offense without the presence of 'stars' on the floor concurrently?
I have more questions now than before they addressed/penalized this.
@Austen We are a former Marin customer. You have one of our former employees as a challenger in this cohort, he should have a lot of insight into our use case.
@repastoddard I think this shows absolute ignorance to the political environment of the last several years. Coming on the heels of the assasination of Charlie Kirk this cartoon is completely indefensible.
