The Clippers and Suns did it and look how it worked out


The Mavs and Celtics are paying it. Hows that turning out?


The Clippers (for now) are still in the playoffs, so it might be premature to bury them, but the Suns and Bucks both made big gambles this past off-season and went deep into the tax, and it's bombed in both cases.

It's reminiscent of the Lakers move to add Westbrook. Those episodes illustrate the danger, because Gayle isn't rich enough for us to go way into the tax and then spend a bunch more to try to fix everything if it doesn't work.

We'll get one shot at this, and it has to work.

So, yes, we need to make moves to go into the tax and contend, but we have to make absolutely sure that they are the right moves, because we won't get another chance for a long while.

Thats very true but look at it this way. If it works- all well and good we’re contenders.

If it doesn’t and Griffin fricks it up- he probably gets fired.

Looks like a win/win situation to me.
