http://m.nbcsports.com/content/which-team-has-paid-most-luxu ry-tax-ever-thanks-isiah http://data.shamsports.com/media/luxurytax.jpg Top luxury tax paying teams of all time: 1. New York Knicks — $195,288,145 2. Dallas Mavericks — $150,530,433 3. Portland Trail Blazers — $89,052,474 4. Los Angeles Lakers — $84,417,253 5. Boston Celtics — $46,094,213 So you can buy a title? The top three teams on that list have one in the luxury tax era. Yes, four and five won a bunch, but it shows that you have to spend smart, not just spend. This isn’t baseball. Only 7 out of 30 teams never paid luxury tax. Which teams have never paid the tax? The Chicago Bulls, for one. They will by a couple million next year for the first time, but not yet. And if you are a Bulls fans worried about management’s commitment to do what it takes to win, your concerns start right there. Also on the no pay list: Charlotte, Golden State, the L.A.Clippers, New Orleans, Oklahoma City/Seattle, and Washington. For the Clippers and OKC that is going to change soon, well that or they will not win with these cores. |
