    NBA salaries have become way too inflated. Makes it a tough fact to digest when watching these games.

      It’s abit of a slim pickings year to be honest, your ether overpaying or have a prima donna… As Raps fan FVV is underrated though. But Kyrie got less…

    I am new to the nba, I understood teams have a salary cap which prevented astronomical salaries within the sport. Anyone care to enlighten me?

      The NBA also has a salary floor, a minimum amount a team needs to spend. Houston was $50 million under the salary floor, so they overpaid Fred to cover most of the floor.
