It made sense to dodge it when we were clearly rebuilding, but as we get this thing closer to being a yearly contender, which is hopefully in the near future, a high payroll comes with that territory. Best way to get Luka to leave will be not pay when it is warranted.
I’ll agree about the tax to the point that we don’t want to become the Trail Blazers who are capped out without a true chance to contend (IMO), but if the MBT signs smart contracts that are an accurate reflections of, or below market value for players that are a good fit, I don’t really care what the end sum adds up to.
