Current salaries are driven directly by the salary cap by way of revenues. The league is required by the CBA to commit between 48% and 49% of total revenues to player salaries via the cap. The league is required to spend 95% of that cap as a whole. Current salaries are not offensive nor overvalued. They are mandated and thus contractually valued accordingly. I have never had, nor ever will, have any issue with what any player gets paid. They are worth precisely what their employer is willing, and able, to pay.
