With the NHL's simplicity in salary cap and rules I'm always left confused by the majority of American sports in this regard. This is what I found on "max contracts" in the nba.
Quote:
Maximum Player Salaries
As under the prior CBA, in the first year of a new contract a player may receive the greater of 105% of the player’s prior salary, or:
0-6 years of service: 25% of Salary Cap ($12 million this year).
7-9 years of service: 30% of Salary Cap ($14.4 million this year).
10 or more years of service: 35% of Salary Cap ($16.8 million this year).
The maximum player salaries will continue to be based on a 48.04% of BRI Salary Cap (not on the new, higher Salary Cap).

His prior contract was $9.5 mil. So with the salary cap projected to be upwards of $90mil that means he could be around $25mil???? That can't be right? There's no way a guy like DeRozan could be worth that much is there? Wow.
