I would not say NO tax is the right move. What I do think they should do, is update the supermax rules. A supermax should count as a regular max contract for salary cap and luxury tax purposes, but you should be able to greatly exceed that number in actual payment to the player. I.E., a Luka supermax would count as $40 million per year(or whatever the regular max is now) on the payroll, but the Mavs could actually pay him closer to $50 million per year.
The problem with the supermax as written is it actually punished teams for paying their players, instead of rewarding them.
