The escalator only can ever account for 5% of the difference assuming HRR doesn't go down.
The biggest cause of this is the way the floor/midpoint/and cap are set up. If the average team spends above the midpoint Escrow is not returned. So when they get 12% withheld assuming flat HRR it would mean that teams on average spent 8% over the cap.
This could be easily solved by placing the cap at the midpoint and creating dividends instead of Escrow, rolling back existing contracts by the % drop in cap and everyone would be happier and every player would be getting the exact same amount of money.
