The NBL points system is a tacit admission that the cap is being rorted by certain clubs and/or coaches.

No contract for Dusty = no Dusty for Rockets
Ahhh good old Derrick Boles.
Jock Page was brought in just as an import at Centrals, cost a bit, but led the league in scoring( I think).

You could pay them what ever they wanted but the team has to be within these limits.That defeats the intent of the salary cap, which is to stop clubs sending themselves bankrupt buying, or at least trying to buy, a championship. It also allows smaller-market teams like Wollongong compete against capital-city teams. The parity it brings to the competition is a side-effect, not the main aim. (Note that it achieves none of this, but is is intended to do these things).
