What are we doing here? Why isn’t salary cap dependent on the amount of tax players would have to pay in each city. (alien.top)

To be honest, the amount of leverage and opportunity that some teams have when it comes to the lower tax rates that players have to pay is completely bullshit. To have some sort of parity between these mega franchises in desirable climates and tax brackets, and a franchise like the Toronto Raptors, where there’s much more tax that needs to be paid.

There needs to be more done by the league to give opportunity to teams that don’t have any control of that factor.

Because the players clearly don't care about it. And its reductive to just look at state and local taxes as your point of comparison. If there are no state taxes they get you on property or sales or other taxes. That money doesn't just come from no where.
