Thanks I guess but it's really really uninteresting. I don't doubt this Captologist is a very learned schoalr of the salary cap but we all kinda know how Bird right works.

Thanks for saving me a few minutes.

I was hoping to hear about cap increases slowly but surely mitigating luxury tax penalties

What does it say that we haven't all realized and posted about since the Jaylen and Porzingis deals -- or, for the slower among us, at least since Jrue's acquisition and then extension?

Where have you been the last 20 years?

Eric Pincus was an On-Air Capologist for NBA TV, an LA TImes Sportwriter for around 4 years, maintained the salary cap pages at Hoopsworld for like 10 years BEFORE working for the LA Times, and also maintained the salary cap pages at Basketball Insiders, and now works for Bleacher Report.

He prepares candidates for the NBPA exam, consults agents on behalf of clients and has tutored front office personnel on the Ins and Outs of the CBA.

He definately is an Insider on Team Salary status, and the nuances of the CBA.

There's an NBPA exam?

Jaylen was two points below league average.

He said he *doesn't* doubt!
