Impending NBA free agents are bracing for what is expected to be a disastrous market this summer, the aftermath of the historic salary boom in the summer of 2016. The NBA Salary Cap, which has surged over the last two seasons, will start to flat line this summer. It’s projected to rise just $2 million, to $101 million total. Where past free agents cashed in on the exponential rise, the next set of contract-seekers will suffer as a result. This includes Portland Trail Blazers free agents Jusuf Nurkic, Shabazz Napier, Pat Connaughton, Noah Vonleh, and Ed Davis.
