NBA 2012-13: Team Payrolls and Salary Cap Hits
The 2012-13 L.A. Lakers Have the Highest Payroll in the NBA, and the Only One Over $100M
Only six NBA teams are under the salary cap this season, which is “set at $58.044 million.”
Here’s a look at every NBA team’s full payroll and cap hits this year, and how far each is over or under the cap.
Below that, I’ve sorted the teams by payroll.
