The NBA now knows the official salary cap number for the 2019-2020 season. That figure? $109,140,000. That might seem like an arbitrary number, but that number means that in order for Utah to complete the Mike Conley trade on July 6th, they will have to cut either Raul Neto or Georges Niang. Right now, it appears that Raul Neto—our wolfie—is the leading candidate to be cut.
Biggest loser under this new cap: the Utah Jazz, who really needed it to jump up to about 109.28M in order to not have to cut another player to make the Conley trade.
