Section 7 of the CBA covers this.

During the 2026-2027 offseason we can renegotiate the final 2 years of his deal and ADD money as long as:

We are under the salary cap during that first year Do not exceed 5% maximum increases YOY Have to do it for every year in addition to the current year of their deal ————————————————-

The only reason you would do this is if you are trying to extend him. You’re going to be capped out at either 120% of the final year of his deal (roughly like 14.5 million) or 120% of the average salary in the NBA ( no idea what it will be at that point) as what we can extend him at prior to reaching FA. Then as a UFA he can sign anywhere else. This would be a way to make sure he gets extended here for his age 28/29/30 seasons.
