The 25 non-tax-paying teams, meanwhile, will each receive 1/30 of the cumulative tax amount, which computes to nearly $1.9 million per team.

I can rest more easily now knowing a fraction of my Cablevision bill is not being wasted with James Dolan and is actually going to the Nets

Team / Money Owed
1. Knicks $45,142,002
2. Mavs $7,204,968
3. Nuggets $2,022,418
4. T-Wolves $998,536
5. Spurs $196,082

Owned. That's pretty embarassing.

not my money, why should i care, or anyone outside of dolan.(doesn't look like he does either)

you should probably care that, regardless of how much the knicks spend, they're still fawking terrible. should probably care that the team is in not just financial hell and team success hell.

because its embarassing

It's a joke, but Sarver is more embarrassing. The Suns would have at least 1 title by now if they hadn't been so fukn cheap.

I'd rather our owner be willing to dish out money for the sake of the team than be cheap and refuse to help the team beyond the cap limit.

Granted Scott Layden took advantage of that, but Zeke and time itself are in the process of fixing everything

Yes, but, Zeke seems to be counteracting whatever time is doing.

stephon marbury will be after next year

the only situation in which he has added payroll is the penny hardaway for steve francis for zach randolph. but if you could trade penny hardaway's expiring contract for zach randolph even with his contract, i bet you would...
