Monkey is completly correct. The salary floor is an excellent concept it ust needs the numbers tweaked a little so that it is more like about 50% on the average salaries in the league rather than the current level. For example in the ABBL right now the average salaries are about $6-700,000 but the salary floor is only $240,000. If it was raised to $300,000 it wouldn't be a huge difference but would mean the bottom teams may as well have a more competitive team but it wouldn't impact too much one competitive but very salary efficient teams.
Simple and easy to understand.
PS: I still think there should also be a salary cap above which you should have to pay a luxury tax but working out where that was could be difficult. Probably around 50% above the league average so once again taking the ABBL it would be $900,000 which right now isn't anyone.
