Not necessarily... the salary cap has worked to make the league more effective, and more evenly distribute the talent around the league. That makes it easier to get competitive and win games... and winning games helps you develop a market. So, attention to the cap is directly connected to improving the investment quality of even struggling franchises, as well as improving the potential return down the line.
Sure, the league would be better off with a couple of troubled franchises elsewhere... but that's the way it is (for now).
