Jason Fleming - Hoopsworld (http://www.hoopsworld.com/bri-reduction-what-could-it-mean/)
Over the course of the last few months NBA fans and media have had more than their fill of the words “basketball-related income” (BRI), “salary cap,” “collective bargaining,” and all the other words that go along with our least favorite word: “lockout.” Over the course of this very public back and forth all sorts of proposals, some real and some theoretical, based in truth and in simple logic, have been discussed. While nothing has been agreed upon yet (and may not be for some while), most simply wonder what any of this will mean to their team.It appears they're going to be around 50-50, so per Fleming's calculations the new cap would be $50,915,789 and the LT would be $61,672,817.
I've read elsewhere that since there aren't salary rollbacks in the discussion this new split wouldn't kick in for 3 years or so. That would make sense as how do you reduce BRI unless you either cut salaries or eliminate jobs? I haven't seen that put forth by any of the bigger media guys tho.
If it did kick in immediately a lot of teams including us will be over the tax limit.
