No what the NBA should do is reduce the salary cap by about 30%.  Force the talent to redistribute because the problem with this league is that talent constantly bunches up.

I don't think that's really true.  The only team packed with stars is Golden State.  

But, even if I'm wrong, its not the salary cap that the problem.  It is the ability for teams to buy their way around the salary cap by paying the "luxury tax". 

I was being somewhat reductive but my point was there needs to be much stricter caps in general for salary.  Golden State is the only one *right now* due to various moves, trades, etc.  But you can look back and ever since LeBron, moved to Miami, Big 3s and Big 4s (3.5s) grew in number and most importantly could be achieved without axing quality roleplayers.  

And even though right now there's only pne "super team", the league is still woefully imbalanced not in a conference respect but a general teams respect.  Even if you abolish conferences you would still have 4 teams or so stomping all over the rest.  You'll still habe a couple teams getting "free lunches" until the quarter or semifinal. Cause talent is unevenly distributed and in constant flux.
