Larry said he would never go over the luxury tax, but did two years after saying it. I think Greg means it when he says the Millers will never go over the luxury tax.

Yep, we will never win a ring.

The part I thought was interesting was that they have 7 presidents over the seven areas of the business, and they are very fortunate to have 6 high performance people in those positions. So, which one is not high performance?

The preceding sentence:

the luxury tax is now so punitive that even the markets with deeper pockets would have to be really crazy to go into that.

A bit of context never hurts.

It's much closer to a hard cap with the apron and tighter limits on trades for those paying LT. It'll be much harder for teams to do what Paul Allen and Jerry Buss used to -- i.e. if, say, Miami were to redo their big 3's contracts with large raises then they'll have a hard time filling the roster in around those guys going forward.

Aren't the first 3 years of being over the cap like the old CBA? Then after you've done it for a few years in a row it goes over?

Thank god

New rules are dumb. No one is going to go into the LT but 2 or 3 teams, and if they are smart, will be able to dominate ever harder.

No.

Greg Miller seriously has the worst mustache and goatee combo ever.

It's the repeat offender penalty that really hurts.
It is a new landscape. Even the Lakers are reeling in their expenditures. Prokhorov didn't care, but he thought he could buy a title. How's that going for him this season?

I could see Miller PERHAPS landing in the tax for a year - if contracts overlap and the Jazz are in serious contention for a championship. But with shorter contracts, I think finances are a little easier to manage, although eventually tough choices may need to be made.
