Multiple'' clubs willing to pay Nerlens Noel the maximum salary from July 1?
Noel's contract can start at 25 percent of the cap with eight-percent annual raises
Nerlens Noel will be restricted free agent from July 1. The Mavericks will have the rights to match any offer sheet Noel will sign.
Per Scout.com, A source from another NBA team (not the Mavs) tells me that there will be "multiple'' clubs willing to pay Noel his max once he hits the restricted-free-agent market on July 1.
Assuming the cap at $101 million, as the NBA is expecting, Noel's contract can start at 25 percent of the cap with eight-percent annual raises. That equals $25.25 mil as his starting salary and about $146.45 million over five years.
Competing bidders can offer restricted free agent Noel a four-year max deal, also worth 25 percent of the cap and also starting at $25.25 mil, but with just five-percent annual raises, equalling about $108.575 million over four years. Dallas can match any offer and retain.
