PO is a player option, TO a team option: the side named decides whether that season is played under the contract. Two-way and Exhibit 10 deals are not salaries against the cap and are not listed; neither is money still owed to players waived. Salaries as Basketball-Reference’s payroll page lists them, in the Internet Archive’s copy of Aug 12, 2026; checked daily.
