The bigger problem becomes the off season. Are the Cavs really going to well overpay both TT and then, ultimately, Kevin Love, for the same position? TT already turned down a huge overpayment and Love will want a max deal. What about Moz in another year? He is more valuable right now then TT and Love. None of these issues arise if we held on to Wiggins' cheap rookie contract.
I cannot for the life of me understand why the fans are so jealously protective of billionaire Danny's money.
First of all: Billionaire.
Second, he made money hand over fist in the years that Bron left when payroll was low and income remained high.
Third, solely because of his Cavs affiliation, he got himself those licenses to those Casinos. More pure profit rolling into his billionaire hands.
Fourth, Bron coming back to Cle, a decision that Gilbert had nothing to do with, shot up the value of the Cavs franchise by something like $300 million overnight. Literally, in one night.
If that dude cares about the luxury tax for the entirety of the rest of Bron's remaining quality years, he's a greedy rat-bastard who should go fuck himself and then die a painful death.
But you know what?
I don't think he is.
I think he realizes that whatever it costs him in the short term is worth it. It's worth it to win, winning for it's own sake is a good, you know.
And he's already made and in the future will continue to make plenty of profit to boot.
No one needs to worry about or even consider Danny's pocket book, not for one second.
PS: Now if you want to argue there are better ways for Danny to go crazy and spend deep into luxury tax penalties, that's fine. Maybe there are.
But it's not our job to care about wanting or helping him to
save a red cent.
