NEW YORK (AP) -The NBA players’ association is upset with the league over a warning it sent teams projecting a significant decrease in the 2010-11 salary cap.
The memo sent early Wednesday morning tells teams that the salary cap and luxury tax levels are expected to drop, echoing comments commissioner David Stern has made at various times this season.
But the union believes the predictions could discourage teams from offering big deals to free agents, who were eligible to begin signing Wednesday. The NBA didn’t consult with the players’ association before releasing the memo, and executive director Billy Hunter said the union has no basis to confirm the projections in it.
