I do not know if it has changed any since the new CBA was adopted but initially there was a provision that no player could account for more than 20% of his team's salary, which would mean the most a team could pay any player with the cap at $50.3M would be $10.03M.DMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737116968841961638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427229.post-88897050183367690462007-11-17T16:57:00.000-05:002007-11-17T16:57:00.000-05:0020 Million a year?
