The issue is players without SB and JR have signifigantly cheaper salaries.
If you take a triple-17 Center and add SB of 17, of course the salary is unbearable. But the salary for 17-17-17-7 Center is the same as 12-17-17-17. Did you think of that? To compensate on IS, you can add some more Passing and Jump shot (again for the same salary) and you get a C that can play Motion/Princeton/R&G and defend LI at the same time!
Instead of thinking of SB just in one way - how it affects salary if you train EXISTING players - you rather have to think how to build a new player with SB in mind.
Same with JR: let's say you have a killer PG without shooting skills and he already has a 200k+ salary. Then you add JR to the mix and he jumps to 300k+ salary. Well of course! If you want to build a Michael Jordan+Steve Nash+Reggie Miller, of course this will cost you dearly. And this is IMO the most realistic point. If you're an NBA manager, you can't build a starting five of Chris Paul/Kobe Bryant/Kevin Durant/Kevin Love/Dwith Howard, now can you? But you want to do that here and you complain because you can't? Maybe you want something this game can't offer?
