I think everyone gets and equal cut of the lux tax money. I thought the new CBA ended rewarding teams who didn't spend.

Yes. I have checked.Quote:

If it wasn't 3:30 AM, I would look up the approx. tax paid, subtract the 1/30th shares and then divide the remainder equally amongst the 30 teams, assuming the league doesn't need it to keep the WNBA afloat or finance fake fans at NBDL games, and voila, we would know exactly how much of the tax the Pistons could pay and would be reimbursed.
Bottom line, there is a cost to being over the LT. It's losing out on that 30th share. But the dollar for dollar stuff is malarky unless the Pistons tax exceeds the payout.
I believe you are correct J. I remember something like being mentioned at the time, but its been so long since the CBA was discussed I'm a little rusty.
True!Quote:

The TE doesn't get us more cap space, because without Ben we're over the cap anyway.
But it does give us another exception to somehow find another player, without using the MLE or BAE.
microwave: Good job.
And you're 100% right.
If we're getting back $3,000,000 in tax from the league, but only paying $1,000,000 then shouldn't the owner be happy?
That's the key for me - I wish you could do the math right now.
If possible could you do it tomorrow?
We'll see when I wake up, I'm already committed to a couple other projects.
It is an interesting project for sure.
Cool - it's not urgent, so whenever you get to it.
That should be a rather interesting find.
Certainly could make Billy D looks bad/worse, depending on what you think of him at the moment.

I really worry about a Chandler for Wallace sign and trade.
Chandler is the anti-Wallace. Never had to do anything, silver platter, silver spoon, never even had to bother going to college, lottery pick, big money without producing, back problems, seems slow and lazy out there, drafted several years ago and STILL hasn't lived up even close to potential, always has an excuse, doesn't seem to want to get better, seems content, everyone is STILL waiting for him to break out, and acting like its a given and it will only take time (Joe Smith, anyone?), etc.
Ben - 4 years in a small college w/o fanfare, undrafted, went overseas, bounced around, had to earn a contract, no one gave him shit, fought his way into the league and improved year by year, looks like he would die rather than give up a rebound.
Big difference.
In fact, just think about the head to heads with these two teams, and how shitty Chandler looks compared to Ben out there.
Keep in mind that in the 2005 season, no one knew what the CBA would be like Dumars made the mistake of thinking the current CBA would be worse than the old, and made moves based on that premise.
