1999-2000 NBA Salaries From the Charlotte Observer (2/26/00 - with triple thanks to Larry Coon for pointing it out) And thanks to Larry Coon and Jon Hamm for pointing out some of the corrections. [I did adjust a couple of things: - moved Johnny Taylor to Orlando and adjusted Denver and Orlando's total salary listings - added Corey Maggette to Orlando and again adjusted Orlando's salary - moved Bruce Bowen from Philadelphia to Chicago and adjust both salary listings - changed Derek Harper's salary from $1,000,000 to $1,100,000 and adjusted Detroit's total salary listing - changed Eric Piatkowski's salary from $3,000,000 to $2,000,000 and adjusted the LA Clippers' total salary listing (Piatkowski signed a 3 year, $6.6 million contract) - changed Eric Murdock's salary from $1,815,000 to $1,925,000 and again adjusted the LA Clippers' total salary listing (Murdock signed 3 year, mid-level exception ($5,775,000) contract) - Removed Sam Mack's salary ($1,090,000) from Houston and recomputed their total salary listing as Mack completed his contract and his amount was removed from Houston's cap when he signed with Golden State - Changed Pooh Richardson's listing from $3,459,710 to $500,000 and adjusted the LA Clippers' total salary listing as $500,000 was the buy out amount - For 1st round picks from 1998 and 1999, they could have a maximum of 120% of the rookie scale for where they were selected. The following players were listed over that maximum and I changed them to the maximum and adjusted their team's salary: * Michael Olowokandi (LAC) changed from $3,459,710 to $3,456,240 * Trajan Langdon (Cle) changed from $1,395,480 to $1,394,280 ] Team Payrolls The salary cap for the 99-00 season was $34 million. Team Payroll 1. Portland Trailblazers $73,898,705 2. New York Knicks $71,340,801 3. Indiana Pacers $54,158,605 4. Los Angeles Lakers $54,123,533 5. New Jersey Nets $52,735,461 6. Washington Wizards $52,648,000 7. Houston Rockets $52,269,366 [adjusted from listing] 8. Miami Heat $50,966,573 9. Utah Jazz $49,206,026 10. Cleveland Cavaliers $46,547,966 [adjusted from listing] 11. Phoenix Suns $46,543,302 12. Boston Celtics $46,152,875 13. Milwaukee Bucks $45,755,447 14. Denver Nuggets $43,205,814 [adjusted from listing] 15. Atlanta Hawks $43,125,502 16. San Antonio Spurs $42,579,801 17. Philadelphia 76ers $42,333,833 [adjusted from listing] 18.

Toronto Raptors $34,730,320 28. Chicago Bulls $27,032,368 [adjusted from listing] 29. Los Angeles Clippers $22,489,343 [adjusted from listing] [These are the figures listed on the cap for this season. Players that are cut with guaranteed contracts still count against the cap. For contracts that were bought out by a team, the buyout amount counts against the cap. For veteran players with more than 4 years of experience signed to minimum contracts, their salary cap number is only $510,000, even though they actually earn more. Per the CBA, the league pays part of those salaries. For Shawn Bradley, he is actually earning about $2 million instead of the $7,560,000 that counts against the cap due to failing to reach certain statistical numbers in the past (this is a special case and I'm not aware of any others). The scale salary for 1st round draft picks that were not signed and not renounced (ie, Frederic Weis and New York) still count against the cap even though the player does not receive any money. Suspended players still count against the cap even though they are not receiving any money (both Derek Harper and Bison Dele announced their retirement, but Detroit chose to place them on the suspended list). There are a number of players on the list that seem to be unrenounced free agents that still count against the cap even though they are not receiving any money. These are players who completed their last contract with the team and have not signed another contract and their last team has not renounced them. I've marked these players with a note of "[completed contract*]". If a player has been released and has a salary of less than $301,875, then that was the amount that the player earned before he was released. The player is no longer receiving any money from the team. The list does not include players signed signed February (ie, Dennis Rodman) - those players earn a pro-rated minimum salary (ie, Dennis Rodman is earning $453,941). I've added them to the end of the team's salary list, but have not listed their salary (besides "minimum") or changed the team's total salary. I've marked the above instances where I've noticed them.] 5 players will earn $15 million or more 16 players will earn $10 million to $15 million 14 players will earn $9 to 10 million 5 players will earn $8 to 9 million 12 players will earn $7 to 8 million 8 players will earn $6 to 7 million 19 players will earn $5 to 6 million 29 players will earn $4 to 5 million 35 players will earn $3 to 4 million 71 players will earn $2 to 3 million 112 players will earn $1 to 2 million [includes 15 minimum players] The league minimum is $301,875 for rookies $385,000 for players with 1 year of experience $460,000 for players with 2 years of experience $485,000 for players with 3 years of experience $510,000 for players with 4 years of experience $572,500 for players with 5 years of experience $635,000 for players with 6 years of experience $697,500 for players with 7 years of experience $760,000 for players with 8 years of experience $885,000 for players with 9 years of experience $1,000,000 for players with 10 years or more of experience Average: $2,947,781 [438 players, only considered players earning $300,000 or more and the actual amount that players are earning (real minimum and didn't include players marked with a '*')] [Note: the NBA computes the average salary that is used for exceptions differently.
