This is actually a really interesting point that I haven't seen this discussed much before. When teams like Edmonton and Toronto that are making $281 million per year, spending $100 million or 35.6% of revenue on player salaries is feasible. For teams that are only.making $199 million or less, paying over 50% just to player salaries may be a tough pill to swallow. 19 teams in the league make $199 million or less. 5 teams are $161 million or less. I imagine the cap raising too much will be a topic next CBA, getting to a point where some teams would be able to just outspend others anyway.
