OK, now the Nets payroll is the league's lowest

A very interesting factoid about the Brooklyn Nets from Filip Bondy in the 12/22/16 Times:

Money and cap space are not the problems. The team’s owner, Mikhail D. Prokhorov, is a Russian oligarch, and its payroll, about $58.7 million, is the lowest in the league. By contrast, the Warriors’ is $107 million. The Nets’ next opponent, Cleveland, owns the league’s highest payroll at $131.3 million, well above the soft $94.1 million league cap and the $113.3 million luxury-tax limit.

It was not so long ago when the Nets had the league's highest payroll and a crushing luxury tax.
