Outside free agents can only be signed to a max using cap space; exceptions are far too small. Max starting salaries for 2030-31 run $54.1M (0-6 years of service), $64.9M (7-9), and $75.7M (10+) (projected).

An incoming max player can get 5% annual raises; players re-signing with their own team via Bird rights can get 8% and an extra year, which is the incumbent team's structural edge.

This is a forward look at 2030-31: it counts the contracts, options, and cap holds already on the 76ers books for that season. Signings, trades, and option decisions between now and then will move these numbers.

The rule behind this

A player's maximum starting salary is a percentage of the salary cap, set by his years of service: 25% with 0–6 years, 30% with 7–9, and 35% with 10 or more.
