Well, it's taken a while as I was waiting/hoping for someone more official to put out the 1998-99 salaries (and I knew someone was working on it), but I finally gave up waiting and put this together. Here is the salary listings for 1998-99. Since a good chunk of this comes from my own research (which generally came from rumors and reports in articles at the time of player signings), take these numbers with a grain of salt. If I receive corrections and/or missing data, I'll update this salary file. patricia ---- 98-99 Salary listings [Note: with the season finished, I decided to go ahead and fill-in the missing information that I knew from data I collected. The salaries for players who were under contract going into the season (ie, not free agents for 1998) come from a source who kindly supplied the dollars. The salaries for players who were free agents in 1998 come from a large variety of places as I tried to keep track of player contracts as they were signed - they are not necessarily correct as the NBA does not release salary information and some of the dollars I had to compute the first season salary from the total contract - and I am missing some player salary information. I've marked the players' salaries that I've added with a *. The team total salaries came out in a number of newpaper articles in March - I believe I pulled the ones I have here from one of the Seattle newspapers. The players listed on the teams are based on the end-of-season rosters and, thus, the team salaries may not match the players' salaries total as the team salaries were totaled about a month and a half earlier (I'm not re-computing them due to the questions I have about some of the salaries I've listed and am missing). Released players who had guaranteed contracts still count against a team's cap, retired players still count against a team's cap, and players sign during the season only count the percentage of games left when signed (but I didn't compute those - they are listed at the full season salary).] [Note: I am missing the salary information for: Chris Dudley (NY), Rod Strickland (Was), Jahidi White (Was), Eldridge Recasner (Atl), Dickey Simpkins (Chi), Alvin Williams (Tor), Cory Alexander (Den), Eddie Johnson (Hou), Matt Maloney (Hou), Othella Harrington (Hou), Matt Bullard (Hou), Stanley Roberts (Hou), Antoine Carr (Hou), Tom Hammonds (Min), Reggie Jordan (Min), Sam Mitchell (Min), Jaren Jackson (SA), Darrick Martin (LAC), Predrag Stojakovic (Sac), James Cotton (Sea). The player count totals and average are, of course, not including these players.] Prorated salaries for the 50 game season (60.97%) listed in parenthesis. The salary cap for 1998-99 is $30 million.
