So the rules shouldn't apply if you drafted the players? These rules were all mutually agreed upon to make the league more balanced. And if you want to hand out huge money, you will be taxed accordingly. This is a classic example of wanting your cake and eat it too.
And why should any fan care about a luxury tax? These owners are so stinking rich. Whether it's the warriors, Lakers, Memphis or charlotte. Props to Lacob for spending it, but it's not like he's gonna be hurting from it. He'll just make less money, but still boat loads.
As long as I have been a basketball fan, the league has never been balanced. In fact, I would argue its easily the most imbalanced league of them all. Every year, there are about 4 teams with a legitimate chance to win the title. This has been like that for decades.
