In 2015, the NBA expressed concerns about competitive balance without salary cap smoothing

The National Basketball Players Association informed the NBA again that it will not agree to "smoothing in" of salary cap increases that are the results of the league's new TV/media deal starting in 2016-17.
The NBA preferred smoothing for two main reasons: foster competitive balance, enable better planning, and the league also believes dramatic spikes in the salary cap lend itself to unpredictability, including dips in the salary cap.
The league also preferred to more evenly distribute talent to teams throughout the league but the spike in the cap will open the market to teams who might not otherwise be in the market for top free agents.
The NBA also believed it would create a better distribution of that money by smoothing it in, so that one free-agent class – the one in 2016 – didn't reap a lion's share of that TV money. By smoothing, a couple of free-agent classes – a greater number of players – could cash in. The union believes that will happen anyway, without smoothing, and free agents in 2017 and 2018 will still be able to land even larger contracts because of the new TV money.

That tells you the lack of trust in owners.
A team gave out 4 max or near max contracts (curry is on a max, Klay was on a max at the time, green was on a max at the time, and Durant is near max).
That was never supposed to be possible.

In other words, the NBA and the owners know what they are talking about, and the players association are a bunch of retards.

The minimum team salary is just as much of a problem. Teams end up giving mediocre players ridiculous deals and above average players get stupid money.

NBA owners have the leverage. They could have insisted on a hard cap but didn’t.
