History

Historical Context

The NBA's salary cap was reintroduced in the 1984-85 season to promote competitive balance among teams. The 2011 collective bargaining agreement (CBA) further tightened salary cap regulations, reducing player salary shares to 51.2% of basketball-related income. This shift forced teams like the Golden State Warriors to make difficult roster decisions, such as waiving players like Seth Curry, highlighting ongoing financial pressures in the league.
