re: .

It's all Monopoly money at that point

that chart is assuming that the salary cap is where it is now which it goes up every year. anyone who is printing out charts for 3 years from now telling you exactly what the luxury tax will be is lying to you


they haven't even announced what the cap will be next year or in 2019 yet /

Lakers seen Rondo being a good mentor for rookie Lonzo Ball.

Uhm, what? Rondo 100% thinks he's better than Lonzo. Rondo will 100% be his backup.

What the shite could go wrong there?

Laker...go getcha that mentor

Gotta ride that roller coaster up to its peak first

the luxury tax means,becuase i gurantee no one here knows what it is besdies mjyself lol, is that over a certain threshold you pay 2 dollars for every dollar.

in 2017 that number is 119 million dollars. that's why they have a 42 million dollar luxury tax they are paying 21 million over 119 x 2


no one knows what the luxury tax is going to be in 2018 but it went from 114 to 119 from 2016 to 2017 so let's assume for the sake of the arguement the luxury tax is

124 in 2018
129 in 2019
134 in 2020
139 in 2021


because i don't feel like doing this mjuch math let's focus on the last y

ear 2021

if the salary is 177 which, it won't be, but let's say it is, and the luxury tax is 139 that's 38 million dollars, times two is 76 million dollars, plus 177 million is 253 million dollars, not 400 million dollars


jeuss that lsu education lol. and lol at everyone who just reads shite and takes it for gospel

and ALL that assumes that they all sign for market value.


now, you got to get into the repater tax but still you ain't close to 400 million.

that 400 million dollar shite is some shite thrown out by the NBA to give other teams a sense of false hope.

there is none. and i hate the dubs.

Abondon all hope, ye who enter here

That's not how it works.

For a repeater, the first $5 million over you pay $2.50 on the dollar.

For the next $5 to $10 million over, you pay $2.75 on the dollar.

For $10 to $15 million, you pay $3.50 on the dollar.

For $15 to $20 million you pay $4.25 on the dollar.

And for $20 million and up you pay $4.75 on the dollar and keep going up $0.50 each $5 million.




So using your number of $38 million in salary over the tax, that would be:

First 5M @ $2.50 = $12.5 million
Second 5M @ $2.75 = $13.75 million
Third 5M @ $3.50 = $17.5 million
Fourth 5M @ $4.25 = $21.25 million
Fifth 5M @ $4.75 = $23.75 million
Sixth 5M @ $5.25 = $26.25 million
Seventh 5M @ $5.75 = $28.75 million
Final 3M @ $6.25 = $18.75 million

Total: $162.5 million in luxury tax.


Total salary + luxury tax = $339.5 million.






Oh, and those numbers you were shitting on came from Bobby Marks. He has spent decades in NBA front offices and was an assistant GM for the Nets. He knows what he's talking about.

Vengeance is out of the loop. Yesterday he was saying Crabbe can't be dealt either. Then he was saying GS needs a combo guard then later GS looks at Young, total opposite of combo guard.

Yeah I think I'll trust Bobby Marks' opinion on the salary cap instead of vengeanceofrain from the internet

---

Wait, so you don't trust the opinion of someone that posts like they've had one too many Smirnoff Ices every day?

Yeah, but buying the team at $450 mil and in seven years it's up to $2.6 bil is a nice ROI

---

It's only a ROI if he sells it. The worth of the team doesn't mean much otherwise.
