I'm no business surgeon, but if you can't afford rent, you can't afford to pay your employees an exorbitant salary.
Yup, if you dropped every team's payroll by $20 million (matched to inflation), the players would still be obscenely overpaid, and you'd easily have enough money for every team to build a new arena every 30 years with no public money.
