Roster & salary commitments · 2026-27 provisional
Guaranteed salary plus option years, current season forward. Cap, tax and apron lines are official where published, projections otherwise; a blank cell means no commitment that season. The 2026-27 roster is provisional: trades and signings through Nov 11, 2026 are reflected on top of a contract snapshot from Sep 29, 2026. Amounts the CBA fixes (rookie scale, two-way) are filled in from the league’s own scales; reported deals use the reported figures, with ≈ marking a season shown as the average of the reported total. Deals without a figure show “—”, and money owed to waived players isn’t tracked.
