The NBA is a bit confusing in that regard. There is a soft salary cap, then different levels of punishment/tax paid if you go over that salary cap depending on how far over you go. The Rockets can easily afford this contract though and still be underneath the normal salary cap.
I am new to the nba, I understood teams have a salary cap which prevented astronomical salaries within the sport. Anyone care to enlighten me?
