Future Cash Allocations By Team
As of this post, NBA teams are set to “spend” a combined total of $14.46 billion in total cash for the foreseeable future. These include any guaranteed, non-guaranteed or options that could be paid out by teams. Obviously, this is a fluid situation and with a potential Jaylen Brown extension or Damian Lillard/James Harden trade the team allocations will continue to shift.
