Many owners in the NBA I personally believe have no intentions of winning or contending for championships. Just trying to make as much money as possible owning a pro sports team. Not about winning with one. But hey what can u say, it's a free market.
Which is exactly why teams must spend a certain percentage of the cap. It used to only be 75%, but the 2011 agreement bumped it to 80%. It's 85% now, and will eventually be 90%. Considering how much the salary cap will skyrocket, this was probably the only real win for the players in the new CBA.
