It's been a while since I created the original version of this, so I updated it for 2026-27.
Note: these are the current projections for the Cap, Tax, Aprons and Exceptions.
Hope this helps people understand the various spending levels and restrictions with each. Send feedback!

All of us at Marvel Studios are deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. Sir Patrick brought Professor Charles Xavier to life with extraordinary grace, intelligence, and humanity, defining the character for generations of fans, from "X-Men" to "Logan" to "Avengers: Doomsday." He was a singular talent, a generous collaborator, and a true gentleman. Our hearts go out to his wife Sunny, his children, his friends, and the countless fans around the world whose lives he touched with his art.

The New York Knicks plan to decline Pacome Dadiet's fourth-year option worth $5.37 million, sources tell ESPN. This creates salary space on the Knicks books for next season and will make Dadiet an unrestricted free agent in June, where both sides could still discuss a reunion.

Per the Brooklyn Nets:
OFFICIAL: The Brooklyn Nets have exercised the third-year team options on Egor Dëmin, Drake Powell, Ben Saraf, Nolan Traore and Danny Wolf.
Blake Wesley's deal with the LA Clippers is the second earliest 10 Day hardship signing. The earliest is Charles Bassey last year with Memphis (Oct 27).
Back in 2021, the NBA changed rules to allow for 10 Day hardship signings before the normal 10 Day contract allowance on Jan 5.

That seemed like a really quick technical on Adem Bona. I know he got kind of in the ref's face, but that didn't seem like much.

Just spoke to a Pelicans official who tells @TheSteinLine that the team has not indicated a willingness to trade Herb Jones.
Jones played sparingly in the Pels' first three games. They have maintained a high threshold on trade interest in Trey Murphy III and Jones for months.
