NBA Sets Salary Cap and Luxury Tax Level for 2012-2013 Season
The NBA has announced the salary cap and luxury tax level for the 2012-2013 season.
As expected, the figures didn't change, meaning that teams are free to do as planned this offseason.
It may seem a bit harsh to have a $1 tax for every $1 over, but there's no other way to deter big-spending teams from blatantly ignoring the luxury tax and doing as they please.
Per NBA.com, the minimum a team must spend on their players' collective salaries has been set at $49.337 million, which is 85 percent of the maximum cap.
Teams should take advantage of this dollar-for-dollar luxury tax penalty while they can, because there will be a much higher penalty instituted prior to the 2013-2014 season.
Next season's taxpayer "mini" mid-level exception will be $3.09 million. The mid-level exception will stay at the 2011-2012 level of $5 million.
Every year, the players' association and the league have a meeting of the minds to determine what the salary cap will be for the upcoming season. Their decision stems from the projected Basketball Related Income, as well as other factors.
There's little doubt that both the salary cap and the luxury tax level will rise as the revenue of the NBA as a whole does. The NBA is making more money than ever before, so there's no reason to think that the numbers for the coming seasons won't be striking.
This is what teams have been waiting for. Now that front offices know the salary cap and luxury tax level for sure, they will be able to sign various free agents with the July moratorium period coming to an end Wednesday morning, July 11, at 12:01 AM ET.

Dahntay Jones would be a good pickup to play the SG spot. Even better when Shump comes back as we wouldn't lose defensive intensity. Damn we sure are looking at a lot of ex Nuggets
I am not sure this move is possible. Jones opted into his player option contract so moving him would only happen if the Pacers felt they needed to shred contracts to make up for keeping Hibbert. As a change of look from JR while Shump heals he will be ok.
found this
"I always said that this superteam thing was stupid, and teams have all the right in the world to try to get better, no matter what
.
But now this is getting ridiculous. The Big 3 + Ray Allen and Rashard on the bench?
.
This is even more unfair than the 86 celtics with Parish, Bird, McHale + Bill walton, the6th man of the year and Dennis Johnson, finals MVP"
Kings got the best frontcourt in the NBA right now..
Restricted free-agent center Brook Lopez is progressing toward an agreement for a maximum contract with the Brooklyn Nets, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Nets president Billy King and Lopez’s agent, Arn Tellem, are finalizing the length of the deal – four years for $58 million, or five years for $78 million – and ironing out protections on the back end to account for a right foot that Lopez broke twice in the past year, sources said.
Once Lopez signs the deal, he can’t be traded until December.

Dwight looking less and less likely.... Also how the heck does anyone justify Brook Lopez getting a 78 Million contract? If that is true that shit is a bad contract before its even been given out. Still the Nyets do have a squad even with him there instead of Dwight.

90s Knicks > '10s Knicks
Cousins/Thompson/Robinson>>>>
ill ass rotation right there..and they all under 25
yeah I can't even knock that group, not the best in NBA but I cant knock it
I was telling niggas at work the day after the draft how much of a power move drafting robinson was to pair with cousins man
shit, that two young BEASTS
looking much better than my mavs
I just dont think if they had those same picks those same years they would have got the young talent the kings go
some sort of foreign player who reach would have been involved
Cousins/Thompson/Robinson>>>>

Cousins needs to mature. Thompson is decent, and will get you 9 points, 6-7 rebounds a game. Robinson hasn't played a game yet and is a 6"7-6"8 power forward. It will be tough, but he has the work ethic, and talent to be good.
Not the best front-line now, but if they all live up to what is expected of them then sure.
Minnesota thought Blazers wouldn't put up a fight. This could get interesting...
Robinson reminds me of a young Larry Johnson

guess they took their physicals today...
sometimes you forget how large nba guys look next to normal humans
Brook has the skills to pay the bills but he's as soft as wet toilet paper.
With that being said, that four year deal isn't bad and if we could resign Hump & Green and get a vet point guard we should be in a good shape. If Hump don't wanna come back we should pickup Carl Landry

be grateful every single day you have mark cuban as an owner..the mavs and kings both came up together but yet we were the first ones to fall off first and our broke ass owners have a lot to do with it
..and we got lucky with the robinson pick and everybody else..don't give geoff petrie that much credit..
Yahoo, KU and ESPN all have him listed 6'10

Those sites always add an inch or two. The link I provided is the direct site that posts results from workouts and NBA combine. Even during draft night, they stated he was 6"8 in shoes.
NBA.com
cause rashard lewis hasn't played like crap since he got that new deal and got off the steroids....
Allen was a good pick up that helps the heat but people are hyping Rashard Lewis like they're going to ignore the last couple of seasons of craptitude that he's been playing.
Fam these dudes aren't trying to hear u tho...if the Knicks had signed this cat u would've heard the backlash from bgol basketball experts
