From what I understand, the Luxury Tax and the Repeat Offender's Luxury tax applies to every team owner. Lacob apparently was willing pay those amounts in the past but is complaining only now?
And btw I support management on this issue should they flip KD the bird and tell him they ain’t trading him unless they get what they wantMy bet is. KD won’t be traded and the Nets ownership will pull a Gerry Buss/Kobe Bryant fiasco
Can you elaborate what this means?My bet is. KD won’t be traded and the Nets ownership will pull a Gerry Buss/Kobe Bryant fiasco
Years ago when Kobe and Shaq were teammates and had won a few rings there was acrimony between the two players and the Lakers were going nowhere. Kobe went too Gerry Buss and demanded he be traded. Gerry basically laughed and although he loved Kobe he basically told him to go f*** himself and the rest is historyCan you elaborate what this means?
and now an argument against KD coming to BostonAnd this might interest Phil.....

Adrian Wojnarowski breaks down the potential factors that could result in Kevin Durant being traded to the Celtics.www.espn.com
Both Jordan and Curry have that killer instinct to have the ball and score for the win. It would be nice to do a fantasy game, but , hard to imagine.2017 Warriors roster?
Iguodala could still play. Klay pre-injuries. And KD at his peak.
Not so sure of the Warriors bench.
That starting five a handful, for certain.
But offensively, the Bulls were a match. And better on the break. MJ, Kuko? and Pippen would have torn them apart.
Luke would have an advantage over a younger Looney, aged Pachulia and revised Javale McGee (who got no court time those finals).
And who stops Jordan?
Bulls in 6.
It's more about what teams will give up to get KD. The farm , the bus, that's not a good deal. But if as Woj reports, Brown, White, picks, pick swaps, that's not bad for the C's to give to the Nets. Question is the Nets will feel shortchanged, and in fact, they have turned such a deal down. KD is THE closer for a team like the C's if they go to a Finals run again. Funny thing is, in my mind, KD and Brown will be a better fit than KD and Tatum. Just a feeling.I can't see anyone wanting KD.
Ageing but still damn good. Has had injury issues.
Expensive.
And to top it all off, Brooklyn wants even more in return.
Nope, he's staying.
