As part of the CBA, every year the players can vote to use an up to 5% escalator on the salary cap to increase it's value.
The downside for the players is that using it means high escrow payments. However, not using it means some players might not get full value on their contracts (or in some cases some players won't even get a contract) as teams struggle to work with a lower cap number.
