The concern comes from this week’s news that the 2017-18 salary cap will be $99 million with a tax line of $119 million, lesser numbers than previous projections.
The Pistons are already at just under $95 million in player money for next season.
Let’s say they guarantee Darrun Hilliard (July 1 deadline to guarantee $1.4 million) and Michael Gbinije (July 15 deadline to guarantee $1.3 million).
Tack on a contract extension for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope with a first-year salary of, let's say, $22 million.
That puts the Pistons slightly over the tax line.
But aside from the limitations in chasing free agents, the franchise isn’t sweating it. There are indications they are moving on from Hilliard, who won’t play for the Pistons during Orlando Pro Summer League, which begins July 1.
But the deadline to be under the tax is the very last day of the league’s fiscal year – June 30, 2018.
So there’s plenty of time.
工资帽99M，税线119M。
现在大概在95M以下。
如果说把达伦-希利亚德和迈克尔-贝纳吉的合同转为保障合同，用一份大概2200万左右的合同留住波普。那么活塞就会稍稍超过奢侈税线。
但是有消息现实活塞可能会放掉希利亚德，他不会为活塞参加奥兰多的夏季联赛。
但是触发奢侈税的截止日期是联盟财年的最后一天，也就是2018年的6月30号。
所以，时间还很多。
