2007-08 NBA Salaries

2007-2008 NBA Salaries

Based on the rosters for 2/22/08

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.

Players with more than 2 years of experience and signed to minimum, one
year contracts only count $770,610 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 $770,610 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. I've always had fun with prorating (usually did
number of games with team from 82) and this year I did it a little
differently in using number of days with team from 160 days. 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 (Jeremy
Richardson (Atl), Kaniel Dickens (Cle), Billy Thomas (Cle), Linton Johnson
(Pho)).

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.

[This looks like to be the last season for the last of the amnesty cases -
in the summer of 2005 teams were allowed to cut one player and that
player's salary would no longer count against the luxury tax (a
dollar-per-dollar fine for each dollar a team was over the salary cap),
but the player still counted against the salary cap. Those amnesty
players still on this list are Michael Finley (Dal), Jerome Williams (NY),
and Aaron McKie (Phi).]

Abbreviations when space a concern to keep on one line:
m or min = minimum
c = counts (amount counts against 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 2007-08 is $55,630,000. The league has a soft
cap - which means teams can go over the cap to re-sign their own free
agents.
