The main thing that a lot of posters here have no clue is about is the off court investments they do with the tech giants in the bay. Which is what gives them an advantage over some other cities. Add to that, SF is a beautiful city, and right there is the perfect storm.
The city is beautiful. The fans dont deserve it though for sure.

I think posters here are well aware of the tech startup market there.
But it's almost like what's the point of watching the non-destination markets when UFA's in their prime are so hard to retain against them, right in their prime, and you at least have to pay more against the cap?
In too many cases, we basically act as farm systems for the destination markets.
LeBron coming back from more glamorous Miami to his homeland is a one-in-gazillion exception, and guys like Westbrook and George staying don't happen enough; it's all the sweeter when David markets win against Goliaths like that.
