The rate of salary cap expansion cannot keep up with the rise in players salaries. Will there be a trend of selling teams in the NBA in the future?

The NBA Finals have played three games in the 24-25 season. The Pacers are currently leading the Thunder 2-1. Both teams participating in the Finals this year have not paid luxury taxes. Such situations may not happen again in the future. For example, the NBA salary cap expands at a speed that can no longer keep up with the increase in players' salary. Now the pressure to run an NBA team is getting greater and greater. Will there be a trend of selling teams in the NBA in the future?

In recent seasons, many NBA teams have changed their bosses, and the Mavericks, Celtics, Nets and Clippers have all completed the boss replacement. The asking price for acquiring the team is getting higher and higher, but the resources that every boss can use to run the team are limited. Not every NBA team's boss is as rich as Ballmer of the Clippers. This summer, there are rumors that the Celtics are going to trade certain core players. They are also trying to control the operating costs of the team. If they want to play with the NBA boss's pockets, it's really impossible now. I still hope that old NBA giants like the Lakers can change their bosses as soon as possible. At present, the Bass family's financial resources in the NBA are really not enough. There are also rumors that the team is going to sell. Can this team with poor record in recent years find a reliable takeover?

The NBA is in a troubled time. It is already quite difficult for NBA teams to win the championship. There are very few superstars that can be truly reliable in the NBA, and easy-to-use role players are also scarce. The NBA can negotiate a higher broadcast contract, but in the long run, the NBA will not be able to maintain its influence in the future. The NBA will probably not be able to do it. The NBA should control the expansion speed of players' salary. It is hard to imagine that an NBA player's annual salary exceeds 70 million, and the player's salary should have far exceeded his actual value.
