I think Cubes absolutely is willing to if he thinks it improves the team and makes good use of their assets. I really think they believe that their current strategy gives them the best opportunity to improve the team. If/when they have their stars set, I do think they would spend luxury tax if it made the team better and didn't hamper them from making moves in the future.
He says that a lot to signal to FA's that our Front office is better than these teams that avoid the Luxury Tax like the plague. It's sort of a cheap promise bc he doesn't really have to follow through thanks to his track record from old CBA's. He has a reputation as a spender which I do think is helpful to would-be free agents coming from say a small market that won't spend money.
