The projected salary cap and luxury tax amounts for the 2016-17 NBA season will be $92 million and $111 million, according to a league memo sent to team executives, and those figures were relayed to USA TODAY Sports by multiple people.

They requested anonymity because they were not authorized to share those figures until the league officially announces later this year the salary cap and luxury tax for next season.

Those numbers are up slightly based on projections from a year ago, which were $89 million and $108 million.

The league also projected the salary cap and luxury tax for the following four seasons, but those numbers may change if the NBA and National Basketball Players Association reach a deal on a new collective-bargaining agreement.

Either side can opt out of the current deal following the 2016-17 and must notify the other party by Dec. 15 if it plans to do so. It is expected one side – most likely the players – will opt out.

Here are the projections for the four seasons after 2016-17:

2017-18: $107 million/$127 million

2018-19: $105 million/$126 million

2019-2020: $106 million/$129 million

2020-2021: $112 million/$136 million

Except for 2017-18, which is about the same as projections a year ago at this time, the other seasons are higher than the projections delivered to teams in April, 2015.
