I am new to the nba, I understood teams have a salary cap which prevented astronomical salaries within the sport. Anyone care to enlighten me?

The NBA also has a salary floor, a minimum amount a team needs to spend. Houston was $50 million under the salary floor, so they overpaid Fred to cover most of the floor.
That’s is just bonkers.
The salary floor? It's to ensure the players make 50% of the NBA revenue. Without the floor it's hard to guarantee enough money is going to the players overall.
NBA salaries have become way too inflated. Makes it a tough fact to digest when watching these games.
It's abit of a slim pickings year to be honest, your ether overpaying or have a prima donna.. As Raps fan FVV is underrated though. But Kyrie got less..
