Go eff yourself... if you don't like it, write your congressman.

um...They are probably having steak dinners with their congressman. These are the billionaires of the world. While you write stupid comments like this, they are probably banging perfect 10s with their congressman.

How about YOU write to your congressman and have him never see your letter while he eats that steak dinner on top of a naked woman.

TX doesn't have income tax.... So it's not my problem.

The truth is, despite Dwight being offered a substantially larger contract in LA, the no income tax laws allowed him to pocket more money from a contract with Houston.

Team owners in places with stupidly high income taxes want the NBA to do something to stop it. Apparently, they aren't banging the right people.

This is idiotic. A bunch of bitter f*cks trying to eliminate one of the many advantages determined by location, which has f*ck all to do with the NBA, and is determined by local politics.

How is it fair for Florida and Texas teams to have their natural advantages removed, while the many other advantages of location and market are let go? Silliness.

Uh, because the whole point is to not give teams such advantages based on market, so that you can have a complete and competitive league.......

Just a guess :facepalm

Because obviously there are no other advantages of location and market for other cities. If there were, players would be running to those markets but they are not. The NBA has worked hard to remove market advantages, and this is just the next step.
