Breaking down how the projected 2016-17 NBA salary cap of $94 million affects the Wizards

Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, and many other players will be just a little richer this summer.

As you know, the NBA’s salary cap is expected to go up considerably from the 2015-16’s figure of $70 million thanks to the league’s new broadcasting deals. Last April, reports were projecting that the cap would jump to $92 million, according to Jeff Zillgitt of USA Today.

But on Friday afternoon, we learned that the cap is projected to jump even higher than that. Shams Charania of The Vertical tweeted that the salary cap will jump up to about $94 million.
