2011-2012 NBA Salaries Based on the rosters for 3/10/12 Compiled by me (Patricia Bender) from my own information and sources. With many thanks to those sources! The NBA does not officially release the players' salaries. This list is a hodge-podge from a few sources, known information, and my own calculations. As always, the list is likely not 100% accurate. Due to the lockout, I've listed both the full salary and the salary for 66 games (2nd listing) - the computation is based on taking the full salary and dividing it by 82 and multiplying by 66 [I'm not sure exactly how the NBA is handing the salary reduction regarding the lockout, but this formula seems logical]. From what I've seen, it seems the league is using the full salaries for trade purposes and for salary cap and luxury tax purposes (so the team totals in this listing are based on the full salaries). The league average and listing of number of players earning xx amount are also based on the full salary. New with the new Collective Bargaining Agreement is an amnesty clause where teams could release a player and his salary would not count against the team's salary cap or luxury tax, but the team would still be paying the salary owed the player - minus any amount the player was being paid by another team if he was picked up during the waiver period. The players whom were amnestied are listed with his former team with the note of "amnesty (date), dnc" after the salary the team owes him (which is the difference between the original salary and his salary with his new team). I'm also noting his listing with his new team as "amnesty pickup". The salary with his old team is not included with team's total, but is included for the league average salary. Amnestied players: Chauncey Billups 12/10 by NY, picked up by LAC 12/12 Travis Outlaw 12/15 by NJ, picked up by Sac 12/17 Gilbert Arenas 12/9 by Orl, not picked up Charlie Bell 12/11 by GS, not picked up Baron Davis 12/14 by Cle, not picked up (signed with NY after waivers) James Posey 12/12 by Ind, not picked up Brandon Roy 12/15 by Por, not picked up Also note that with the new Collective Bargaining Agreement instead of creating new listings for 2011-12, they "froze" the minimum salary amounts for 2010-11 [even though the old CBA had a listing for 2011-12] and the 1st round draft pick rookie scale amounts for 2010-11. The 2011-12 salary cap was also "frozen" at the 2010-11 amount. [This was mostly due to the rush to completing the CBA in time for the season to start Dec. 25 (with the tentative agreement being reached on Thanksgiving), with the lockout not ending until the new CBA was signed.] Players with more than 2 years of experience and signed to minimum, one year contracts only count $854,389 against a team's cap (the league pays any amount over that amount) [or the prorated amount from when the player was signed or released]. I've listed the player's actual salary in the listing and for the overall average, but used the $854,389 amount for the player's team payroll. Released players signed to non-guaranteed contracts and minimum players signed during the season are prorated for the number of days they were with the team or the number of days left in the season from when they signed. There were 4 10-day contracts on the rosters at the time I did this list - those player's salaries are prorated for the rest of the season (Manny Harris (Cle), Bobby Simmons (LAC), Gerald Green (NJ), Jeff Foote (NO)). I've noted where a player's salary is part of a 1st round draft pick rookie contract. 1st round draft picks are signed to 4 year contracts (the 1st and 2nd years guaranteed and 3rd and 4th years at the team's option) with the amount a set range based on the draft pick number where the player was selected. The team's payroll is totaled from the individual salaries I have listed. The actual team payroll maybe different from what I have listed as there maybe other small salaries that I didn't include (ie, some camp-fodder players from training camp ended up counting a small amount), there might be some bonuses and trade kickers that count that I don't know about, and/or some salaries might not be accurate - but the amount is probably close the real amount. Abbreviations when space is a concern to keep everything on one line: xxx yr rookie con = xxx year rookie contract m or min = minimum c = counts (amount counts against team's salary cap) dnc = does not count against the team's salary cap s = signed r or rel = released s 1/7-1/23 = 2nd date is date of release if year not listed, the signing/release for this season ---- The league salary cap for 2011-12 is $58.044 million. The league has a soft cap - which means teams can go over the cap to re-sign their own free agents and can sign players to minimum contracts even if they are over the cap.
