How do they other teams sign superstars under the cap?

We have signed some good players but are still missing pieces. How the hell do big market teams sign 3 all-stars and have money left over to field a team? Please educate me. Can you go over the cap and pay a tax? If so can an owner just bankroll a championship team?

Of course. It's the NBA.
No one here can correctly explain to you the cap and its details. I'd suggest googling it/researching it yourself.

Richer owners are more willing to pay the lux tax
small markets typically don't have that. That's why Mikael Prokorov can overpay

In the NBA between the various exceptions and the ability to S&T, and the ability to go over the cap in signing your own players, there is more flexibility in building a competitive roster when a team is above the cap instead of below it.
Under the cap, you have less access to your exceptions, and a team probably has a less than full roster in order to create the room so you've got fewer assets and moving parts to work in the trade market. Being perpetually under the cap, or trying to clear huge room for FA is generally a losing strategy in the NBA, and is usually a lousy way to build a team.

I think one of the most important things about the salary cap to note is that it's a soft cap. There are certain ways you are allowed to go over, such as signing your own players, a mid level exemption, and to add minimum salary players. Compare that to the NFL where it's a hard cap and you can't go over for any reason, however the nonguaranteed contracts in football make cutting/restructuring players easier to deal with said hard cap
