I'm including Korver at $5M a year in my calculation. With Rudy at $20M/year, Korver at $5M/year, and Frye at $8M/year, we are still over the tax next year by the same amount as we are this year, and less than we were last year.
I think the goal is for us to pay significantly less luxury tax next year. Gilbert is not going to pay Rudy Gay 20 million. No way.
Windhorst said it best: The Cavs FO has a directive: if there is a problem,figure it out without "throw money at it" being the answer.
The Cavs are not permanently going to stay this far in the tax. The money hit is absurd. Rudy Gay is the definition of "throw money at it to fix it".
The Korver move was a good move where we wont have to "throw money at it to fix it". We saved money this year, we can probably keep him, and save a nice chunk for next year as well.
I personally don't think Rudy is worth discussing for that reason.
If somebody else went down with an injury, maybe the checkbook opens back up, but as of right now....I don't see it.
