    Rise like Lions after slumber,
    In unvanquishable number -
    Shake your chains to earth like dew
    Which in sleep had fallen on you -
    Ye are many - they are few.

    forbes calls him the #194 richest person in the world, with ~$3.5 BILLION.

    i knew he had a lot of loot, but i was thinking hundreds of millions...

    3.5 billion and he wont pay the fucking luxury tax.


    ps: that list is well worth exploring. i think i could spend days looking through it.
    I hate when people say things like that. He got that rich by make good business decisions, not by paying the luxury tax to keep overpaid bench players that usually had no impact on the game.

    In 1 1/2 years we'll be able to put this topic to rest... if one of the starters is moved for an expiring, then we'll know Mr D won't pass the threshold.

    I don't think going over the hard cap means your team will fail like the Knicks.... most of the teams going over the Lux cap have had excessive player turn over... no stability on the roster.

    The new CBA reduces the penalty (negligent teams share the distribution).

    For a veteran team in contention the hard cap should not be used as an excuse to move your core.

    A couple years ago we got stuck losing the lux tax distribution by some miscalculations on the BRI.... we went over the threshold by approximately Darvin Ham's salary (one expensive scrub).... I'm sure that chaffed Mr. D's ass... So Joe has to be a little more careful...

    At least they know the cap before the year starts now.

    WASHINGTON — The estate of the late William Davidson is taking the IRS to court in what could be one of the largest cases of its kind, with representatives of the Bloomfield Hills billionaire claiming the agency is wrongly trying to squeeze nearly $2 billion in taxes out of the estate — if not more.

    Too bad he wouldn't pay for the luxury tax, now he has to pay the IRS.

    Between this and the Pistons, there's strong evidence that he never really planned to die.

    You're right. Usually people of his calibre plan this stuff years in advance. Maybe he wasn't all with it during his final years.
