You mean state income tax?

Sure that is a common argument, but why wouldn't all superstars go play in Florida if that fact REALLY mattered to them?

Yea I don't think the state income tax thing is THAT big of a deal. It's a factor, but I think it's overstated.

Especially for superstars who already will be making a shitload of money in contracts and endorsements. Going to the best situation team wise >>>>>>>>>>> state income tax considerations. The money and exposure to be made from getting to/winning the finals is going to dwarf state income tax savings.

Now if we're talking about a near-retirement vet who has 2 or 3 years left in the tank, then that might be a bigger factor.

They won rings first, then they were able to lure Aldridge and West. Look at Lebron his first stint in CLE, couldn't get anyone to go to CLE to play with him until he WON a championship in Miami and returned to Cleveland. OKC couldn't land Gasol last year with 2 top 5 players, he preferred to go to a bigger market/city.
. You do realize I'm going back a lot longer then just a few years.
