FINALLY COMING BEFORE MARCH 1 OF 2008 is a complete team-by-team list of salaries, not just this season but for the future as well. We had this for years, then stopped it, but due to popular demand we're bringing it back soon.
December 7, 2007: ESPN.com reports: The following 11 teams are over the league's $67.865 million luxury-tax threshold and would have to pay the amount listed if the season ended today: New York $19,790,373 .... Denver $16,044,119 ... Dallas $9,128,035 ... Cleveland $8,736,960 ... Miami $7,577,204 ... Boston $6,837,201 ... Portland $3,263,221 ... Phoenix $2,978,875 ... Houston $1,534,473 ... L.A. Lakers $1,298,352 ... New Jersey $292,969.
December 7, 2007: ESPN.com reports: The following six teams are less than $1 million away from the luxury-tax threshold … and thus basically one signing away from forfeiting the lucrative annual rebate from the league afforded to each team that stays under the threshhold: San Antonio $27,591 ... Washington $107,249 ... Toronto $468,580 ... Detroit $702,924 ... Indiana $858,367 ... Philadelphia $943,292
