The salary cap is not going to shrink. Like I said previously, the worst that will happen is that it will remain the same. The salary cap isn't based on the BRI of the previous season, so unless the lost revenue is found to impact the next season it shouldn't lower the projected BRI. Not to mention that a lower BRI would cripple so many teams by pushing them above the luxury tax threshold. BRI includes, in the event owners and the NBAPA can’t agree on a salary cap figure, the BRI from the previous year plus 4.5%. That’s in the CBA under Article VII. It doesn’t include TV revenue in that formula, but gate receipts make up a sizable portion using that projection. To your point on luxury tax, that MAY lead to owners wanting an artificially inflated cap in an agreement with the NBAPA, but as seen in the last cap spike, the League and NBAPA definitely don’t see eye to eye on all things cap related.

"Shall include" does not mean, "must only include." The NBA and NBPA are free to negotiate outside of that formula to arrive at a different number. Don't take my word for it, listen to Nate Duncan's recent podcast with Larry Coon, the guy who runs the CBA FAQ page that you all probably visit for your CBA-related needs. Cap talk starts around 19:00 Some other pertinent discussion starts at 33:00. and at 43:30 Larry estimates that the cap next year will be $110 million. Whole thing is worth listening too, though. omny.fm/shows/duncd-on-basketball-nba-podcast/capfather-larry-coon
