This summer became compelling the moment the league reached a new television deal that will triple revenues in 2016. With that in mind, some players will pursue free agency more strategically and exercise patience — signing short-term deals in anticipation of a massive pay day next year — over the rush for immediate gratification.

Teams can begin negotiating with players at midnight on July 1. But here is a fair warning for fans accustomed to owners and general managers exercising restraint under more punishing salary cap penalties: Don’t expect that this summer.

First, a few things to keep in mind:

--With the new economics in the NBA as a result of the new TV deal, this is going to be one interesting summer.
--When we are talking about max deals, the math — and the money — gets quite interesting. The summer of 2016 will be bedlam as the money from the new nine-year, $24 billion TV deal kicks in. And because the Players Association refused to adopt the NBA’s proposal of “smoothing” in the revenue, the salary cap will jump an astronomical 32 percent to approximately $90 million with a projected tax line of $108 million.
--Here are the teams with significant potential cap room in the summer of 2016: Every team. That means there’s almost no sense in taking a tough negotiating stance with a restricted free agent and forcing him to sign his qualifying offer, because that will only make him more expensive as an unrestricted free agent next summer.
--Don’t be surprised if players such as DeMarre Carroll, Tobias Harris or even Draymond Green or Khris Middleton receive max contracts, because those deals will be downright bargains compared to the size of max contracts a year from now. And teams that may have been apprehensive about exceeding the luxury tax to sign a player this summer may bite the bullet and pay the tax because the cap increase next summer almost ensures that they will not be a tax team in 2016, avoiding the higher repeater penalties.
