Designating salaries at a % of the cap instead of dollar amounts would help. Just simply say 30% or something, and then only allow teams to exceed the cap by 20 percent or so. If the cap spikes existing players get more money and there's less to lavish on scrubs. And abolish the maximum salary. Skip all the dumb bird rights, etc. The Cavs had a season 4 years ago where they started under the cap and paid the luxury tax(or nearly did) by the end...I mean how does that even make sense.
