Exactly. People act like simply being a luxury tax team instantly makes you a contender.

Nah, people are acting like being a luxury tax team is required to make you a contender, which is so.


Another thing that is so, we are 1 of 2 teams in the NBA that have never paid the tax.

Exacty. To be a true title contender I don’t see how you can’t be a tax team. Quality role players force you into the tax just as much as the stars. OKC is a once in a generation type club full of young guys on their rookie deals and they had a huge season but what about when the bil comes due on SGA, Williams, Chet, etc. They will pay SGA Williams and Chet but they are a notorious blow it up and start over team every 5 years it seems. They are loaded with draft picks too though so they are sitting in an envious situation.

I love that fact and think it's awesome. I actually love us being a thrifty team and wish we could be way under every season. It sucks they made the rule that forces a team to be at 90% of the cap now. I still don't understand what happens if you don't..

Not even specific to this reply. It’s funny how many ppl ignore evidence that goes against their thinking. Poster gave evidence from this season and it was ignored, at least in the copy/paste.
