Should the NBPA instead agree to cap smoothing it's likely the league will still see annual increases to the extent of $15M

According to a report from Forbes, NBA projections indicate that a $171 million salary cap is possible, assuming no cap smoothing, by 2025 if the league will reach its new TV deal goal of over $75B, that would compensate the league with $8.3B annually: a figure that is the triple of the current deal.

Should the NBPA instead agree to cap smoothing, it’s likely the league will still see annual increases to the extent of $15 million, according to source. Cap smoothing could become a significant topic during the next round of CBA negotiations, which are expected to start next summer.
