Salaries are only a portion of expenses paid by any organization to employees. Benefits cost the NBA as well. Plus travel expenses. And equipment for officials, including all of the stuff they do online with video review. Add on to that the employees that evaluate and support the officials for things like HR and travel.
And also, others have stated that some make 300k-400k. Add to that playoff pay.
I'm sure I still missed dozens of expenses.
That budget doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
