You can take bad contracts into cap room, and run yourself into the tax taking on contracts for assets. Like Ballmer and the Clippers can probably recoup a ton of draft assets just tearing down this roster, and then using the money they can afford to just absorb negative deals. Now you probably have a point before its done while the bad deals are on the books you have to pay the tax, and eat some losses on a season or two. If your team can just operate like money is infinite you can leverage yourself into a intentional bad money situation to build up a wave of assets.
Its more useful in a full rebuild of course where your planning on a multi year turnaround. Buyout most of the bad contracts, and develop a bunch of young players for a couple seasons just like OKC did. Think how much more aggressive OKC could have been the last 5 years if they had the GSW revenue.
The biggest advantage is that GSW, when they are going to finals, allows for a payroll + tax of like 800M. So you can just keep your core, and role players, if your really good. Build up a title contender for the long haul.
