NBA salary cap projected to increase $5mill next season

2

"Sources told ESPN.com that all 30 teams were informed this week via league memorandum that an increase in the cap from this season's $58.6 million to $63.2 million in 2014-15 -- thanks to increased revenues -- is now expected. A corresponding rise in the luxury-tax threshold from $71.7 million to $77 million is also projected, sources said."...... According to Storytellerscontracts.com the Blazers are already at $63.9 mill on the books for next season (if Mo opts in and we pick up Barton's contract). Anyone understand how this affects the Blazers? does this mean that we wont get the $5mill MLE since we wont be over the cap or does this mean we have more money to work with or what?
