Like I told you the salary cap would be unfair for teams like Dionysus.He has the same players for many seasons who have been trained by him,for many seasons he has played in B3's knock out stage and above all 11 of his 13 players are chinese and 4 of them are playing for the national team.A team built like that to me is a model team.I don't think that any manager would have any problem for it's high payroll.
I understand what you are saying and a salary cap would make B3 more competitive and unpredictable.
An other factor that could be incorporated in the game is something like a chemistry factor that could effect the performance of the players and it would change according to the transfers.The less transfers of the players the higher that factor will be.Probably each role would effect differently that factor.That would stop tanking because teams with cheaper roster would have better chances against more expensive rosters.

Firstly this is a game and not reality.
Secondly half of the teams in nba have payroll higher than the salary cap but they have extra taxes for teams that have payroll higher than the salary cap.Take for example the champions.Their payroll is almost 81 millions when the salary cap is 58.68 millions.Only the salaries of the the big three is about 6 millions less than the salary cap.
Thirdly nba is a company and they want to make profit(both the nba as a company and the teams).If nba wanted teams to actually respect the salary cap they would make strict rules and they wouldn't have the extra taxes.And do you think that teams won't make enough money to pay the extra taxes?So what would be the difference here in the game?Probably one more season of tanking.
Finally I believe that every manager can spend his money as he wish but there is always a price for our decisions.For example the manager of VS probably will win the B3 but tanking for 8 seasons he hasn't enjoy the game(at least I can't find what's interesting in what he did)

He didn't train his entire roster. He bought his most expensive player at age 27 after his training was virtually complete plus he's got a foreign player with a $100,000 salary that while he did train him, he's not home grown.

I was figuring that a salary cap would be around $1 million so he wouldn't have to do a lot to get to that figure (and he'd likely still have the best team). But it would stop people from loading up with a $1.8 roster, that's not how things are supposed to work.

I mean he bought some players and trained some of them (it's very difficult for anyone to train the entire roster) I should have written it better.
I wanted to underline that he bought the players not just to win a B3 but he wanted to created a team that he could afford but at the same time it would give him titles.I wanted to show that difference.
I also said 11 of the 13 players are chinese

Don't get me wrong, he's obviously an extremely smart manager. Well rounded players, high merchandising income because they're almost all homegrown. But I still don't see how a salary cap penalizes him, it actually might help him as he might have the best roster dollar for dollar anyways and teams won't be able to outspend him while trying to beat him.

The salary cap may penalize him and may not it depends on which price will be set the salary cap.But I find it unfair for him because he did something that hadn't happened before at least in the highest level.He didn't just buy the best available players but he found certain players and he had a plan.And as it seems his plan is working out well because he has the same expensive roster for seasons.
Salary cap in my view is a way to stop managers from buying the most expensive players for a season and then sell them.

Which is exactly what's happening, so what's your solution?

I'm fine with sacrificing the luxury of a 3 time B3 champion like Mamba888 if it betters the game and makes the B3 more exciting.
And make no mistake Mamba did not train most of his player. He bought them with cash, a fair amount of it earned with shady tactics( look at his transfer history).
