I'm really curious how many times each Clipper, Laker, and Raptor fan have cycled through the 5 stages of grief

I will laugh so hard if the Clips announce the trade for Beal (who was in LA yesterday) then the signing of KL today

No group has been through more of a roller-coaster of emotion that than the "frick the lakers!" or "frick lebron!" folks.

How often do players care much about taxes within that particular context?

If they're smart, probably not at all, or very little.

If I'm netting 9 figures either way, does ~11 million really matter? Like if he wants Toronto, would the 11 million really hurt so much that he chooses lakers/clippers?

No it doesn't.

That's more than evident in the Jalen Rose "sources!!!!" thread

Does the MSB get more traffic if he stays in Toronto or goes to LA?

Raptors: The plane is picking up his family to sign in Toronto!
Clippers: The plane is coming to move us to San Diego!

It all depends on his residency for taxes...his full-time residency will be California regardless, so he may not have to pay taxes regardless. I don't think that part matters in the slightest.
