Our team of Sports Business Classroom alumni came together to create a comprehensive resource surrounding the business of basketball. Here you will find a one-stop shop for transactions, draft capital, contract/league deadlines, upcoming free agents, and salary cap figures for all 30 teams. NTC’s objective is to provide easily digestible insights for fans, NBA executives, and everyone in between – in the aforementioned categories.
