Escrow tax trims NBA paychecks for 2001 02 season
NBA players from superstar to rookie will lose 10 percent of pay under the escrow tax tied to more than 55 percent of basketball related income. Garity, elected union secretary treasurer, says the move will upset players though it avoids a hard salary cap. Projections show players receive 64 percent of BRI next season, with over 150 million returned to owners in 2001 02. The tax lasts through 2003 04 under current projections, nearing a total near 0.5 billion by six year CBA expiry.
