yeah i spelled Pau wrong. But he absolutely is the best PF in the game. Bosh is better than Tim Duncan at this point in their careers.
I edited it homie my apologies
no worries broheim

Still not certain what the luxury tax is, but a team can be over the cap as much as they want as long as they're willing to pay a luxury tax? So they can basically buy a championship?
Let's say a team goes over the cap by $5 Million. Then they also have to pay $10 in Luxury Tax to the NBA.
That's a bargain, I wonder why teams don't do this more often. Owners must not want to win.

You'd think more would, but it's not so easy for every owner to just hand over $20 million. That's a whole lotta f**king money. Even to these rich b*****ds. Then there's also the fact that 3 big names aren't always available to acquire. The Lakers have slowly built what they have, and are paying their players big money to stay. Something a lot of owners also don't do. The money that Kobe, Pau, Bynum, Odom, ect have gotten is crazy. Most owners would have let some of those guys go to get paid elsewhere, but Buss is dedicated to winning. More than any other owner in all of sports, IMO.
Being in a big market definitely helps ease that bank account a bit.

I was about to get on the bandwagon but then I heard the the Warriors traded for David Lee, so i'll stick with Golden State. Wade is still m favorite player though, I'll root for the Heat in the playoffs, since the Warriors won't sniff them.
