$100 million salary cap? NBA projects triple digit cap in 2017

With new projections in place, expect teams to spend freely and players to look for player options in their new contracts.

The NBA has released salary cap projections for next season and beyond, and as expected the numbers will be enormous once the league's new TV revenue is factored in, if Jonathan Givony of Draft Express is to be believed.

Next season the salary cap is expected to be $67.1 million, a 6.4 percent increase from last season. In the first year of the new TV deal, 2016-17, the salary cap is expected to be $89 million.
