Or just don’t allow any team to dress a lineup in any playoff game whose combined AAVs exceed the cap.

I like the idea of having any player on LTIR after the trade deadline not eligible to play for the rest of the year and playoffs. You can still put him on the IR, but you don't get cap relief.
I'm not opposed to luxury tax too, but it needs to be progressive and very punitive. Say 25% after you hit the mid-point, 50% once you get halfway to the current cap, 100% after the cap, 125% first 10% over the cap, 150% after 20% over the cap, etc. Revenue from the luxury tax goes into a reverse escrow shared by the players and teams.
