Salary Cap Question

If anyone can help me out it would be appreciated, couldnt find the answer on the net anywhere.

Have we ever been under the salary cap and if not why is this so? Have we always made bad contracts?

cheers lads.

I know we were under the cap when we signed Allan Houston in '96. I'm sure we were before that too, but I don't know of any other times off hand.

cool well thats a start, just i got some jerk supporters of other teams over here ragging on us about how we have never been under the cap and so on.
any other info is appreciated. Cheers mate.

this is the first time we been under the cap in 13 years. i heard Donnie Walsh say it in the video JayJ posted.
