The revenue lost from the league over the past 12 months and 18 months, by the time this season is over, will come off any revenue, until it equals the 50-50 share, which will take about 6-10 years to repay.
Just my opinion, but I do agree, arenas will bee pretty full everywhere, except Arizona of course. - Reubenkincade
i'm not sure it works like that. as far as i know, the cap is based on revenue expectations on each upcoming season. it has nothing to do with lost or past revenue.
as for the difference between salary paid out vs revenue received for the last year, i would think this was discussed/agreed to during the new cba agreement. i would be very surprised if it carried over beyond this season beyond the % in escrow. but any amount paid in escrow has no affect on the cap.

So, if the league reaches the magical 4.8 billion in revenue next season, the league will raise the cap?
I don't think so.
Here is a link that contains links to other info on the cap...enjoy.๐

In the future Byram - Hughes could be our top pairing and the best we have had in the history of the franchise. Byram seems like he will be a beast. - Retinalz

yes. put simply, the cap each year is based on what the expected/predicted revenue will be. a certain amount is withheld (in escrow) as a way to offset a shortage if there is one.
the amount lost in this and last season was dealt with in the "thingy" and "back to play" agreements. the only uncertainty now is what revenue will look like in the future. if you think there is some sort of debt that the players will have to pay back (other than through escrow which has no affect on the cap), i think you're mistaken.
edit: i read your link. i don't know what you want me to get from that?

Two lefties. There are VERY few lefties playing right that are good. To the tune of Schmidt is probably the best in the league at it and he is much better on the left.
