NBA needs a designated player rule or simply a hard cap to fix this problem. DP rule would make guys less inclined to sit on a team making way less when they could make a lot more if a team was willing to throw it at them if they were a DP. Hard cap would be more draconian.
Of course, going the baseball route would be even better but there are always too many guys making way more than they need to be making because the cash is available, though I wonder if an uncapped league would bring more European players and dudes who play in China over here because teams could pay them more to be here.
