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.

Paying the tax to have a shot at the title is one thing.

Locking yourself into the tax with a team that hasn’t been higher than 8th seed with a 4-1 loss and a 4-0 loss isn’t great.


Granted, this was a fricky year with regards to how good the west is, but finishing 7th in the standings then going 1-1 in the playin doesn’t lend itself to “Let’s lock in this lineup!”

SGA already makes over 30M. Chet is under contract for 2 more seasons after this one at under 15M, Williams 2 more seasons under 10M.

They are gonna be fine cap-wise for a while.
