The NBA also has a salary floor, a minimum amount a team needs to spend. Houston was $50 million under the salary floor, so they overpaid Fred to cover most of the floor.
Wild choice when they could’ve shopped for better talent but Houston’s also in a weird situation where I don’t think there’d be much excitement to join them.
The salary floor? It’s to ensure the players make 50% of the NBA revenue. Without the floor it’s hard to guarantee enough money is going to the players overall.
