Disclaimer: The league does not officially release salary information.
The following is based on newspaper reports, basic computation of known
variables (ie, the scale for rookie contracts since 98-99 is known, set
maximum salary increases allowed for contracts since 98-99, if a player's
salary consistently increased by a certain amount then future salaries
may have been computed based on that amount, ...), and other things and
the listing is not necessarily accurate. The sum of a player's contract
breakdown may not actually match the listed contract signing amount due
to a variety of reasons - the reported contract signing amount may not
be accurate or may have been rounded and/or a individual season salary
listing may not be accurate or may have been rounded.
For more information about the salary cap, take a look at the
