The 2009/10 NBA Salary Cap has not yet been announced. The 2008/09 NBA Salary Cap threshold was $58.68 million. Currently, the Kings would fall approximately $7 million below last season's salary cap. Last season's luxury tax threshold was set at $71.15 million.
Also, note that the above table does not include Ike Diogu (Qualifying Offer - $3,946,874), and Rashad McCants (Qualifying Offer - $3,644,595). It also omits Bobby Jackson, Cedric Simmons and Calvin Booth.
