-I got the cap numbers from http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=11713 I'm not much of a hoopsworld fan, but this seems pretty reasonable and it's the best numbers that I could find for the salary cap.
-I got the the luxury tax value since the salary cap is 51% of the BRI; 57.3 mill/0.51 = 112.35 mill = BRI and the luxury tax is 61% of the BRI so 112.35 millx 0.61 = 68.54 mill
Would you also let us know what the MLE will be? Thanks.
Alright the MLE will be set at 5.848 million; I figured out the average salary and that is the MLE http://members.cox.net/lmcoon/salarycap.htm#Q24
Avgerage salary = (total salaries teams paid for 08-09/(13.2 # don't know what it's from but its used)(#teams))x1.08 (8% increase)
Avg salary = [2,144,227,895 (added up every teams salary from shamsports)/(13.2)(30)] x 1.08 = 5,847,894.26 which rounded off is 5.848 million
