It's hard to not think that the cap has to increase in 2014 even with these borrowed supplements to the 2012 and 2013 caps, because the new TV deal is going to bring in an additional 3 billion dollars to the TV revenue which is directly calculated into the format approved in the new CBA which designates the salary budgets and, furthermore, that in turn designates the salary cap floor and ceiling.

Even if the rise would not happen in 2014 because of the previous borrowed supplements, those should be payed off within that first year if the cap stays as it is right now, and so the increase hike would then happen in 2015.

At least that is how I understand the situation according to the limited knowledge I have about the circumstances involved.
