DFS opting out definitely isnt helping either


If they sign Ayton for peanuts due to his opt-out opening cap space then it's really helping giving Lakers a center without having to use any assets.

So you are saying you would trade a couple of bad players for a good player to get worse?

Don't teams make questionable moves all the time during the season in the name of dumping contracts and clearing future cap space.

With that said, I was not suggesting that the team that LeBron would necessarily get worse. Just that after they made the trade for LeBron, they would happen to have the fortune of ending up with the #1 overall pick regardless of how slim the odds are. Luke trade, AD trade, Benson buying Pelicans (were they still Hornets at the sale?)

Losing DFS really sucks. Looks like he’s getting a bag from CC

There's also property and local city taxes of some sort


You realize they are taxed in each state they play in so only 40 games will have CA taxes

He’s also a California resident. It’s a lot more complicated than that
