I know it’s NBA Draft day, and everyone’s excited about who the Detroit Pistons might acquire at 12, or what trades are going to happen, but some big news came out from MassLive.com’s Jay King early this morning:
Teams have been informed the NBA expects the salary cap to go down from latest projections, per league source. $99 million the new number.

If you recall, the previous projections for the salary cap were between $101 and $102 million. This gives the Pistons (and any other teams hovering around the salary cap) even less room to add salary in free agency this off-season.
