I have an idea that might be better than a hard cap. Just strengthen the luxury tax. For teams 10% over the cap charge dollar for dollar, teams 20% over charge $1.50 per dollar, teams 30% over charge $2.00 per dollar over, and so on.
That would discourage teams from overspending and still allow some flexibility.
Also, in terms of player annual raises over the course of a contract - instead of 5-10% raises, make annual raises similar to that of the desired inflation rate ie: 2%.

When they grab a fish or something else, they never let it go. It doesn't matter. In a book, they write they find a skeleton of [an] eagle and there is no fish. It means that the fish beat him and killed him, but he didn't let go." -- Donatas Motiejunas

Amnesty Clause
The term "Amnesty Clause" has been floating around as of late. From what I read, the clause on the new Collective Bargaining Agreement allows NBA Teams to cut one or two existing player contracts to go under the salary cap IF the Hard Cap of $45 Million will be agreed upon by the League and the Player's Union.
For example, the Magic can terminate the contract of Gilbert Arenas or Hedo Turkoglu to adhere to the $45 Million threshold.Sacramento Kings

Flex Cap
The League and NBA Team Owners' Association is now offering a Flex Cap that will set the Salary Cap for all teams to $62 Million. On the Flex Cap, teams are still allowed to go over the limit but will have a Financial Onus for players if the average salary cap of all NBA Teams exceed $62,000,000.
Kind of reminds me of the NHL Payroll and Salary Cap.Sacramento Kings
