Heh, well, Nutt, I wouldn't really call the highest payroll in the league in one of the (if not the) biggest markets in the NBA a "reference point" for Utah, my own damn self, but....
Something else to add to further show how we compared last yr to other teams namely the ones who spent more than us...11 teams went further into LT then us, many of which went far more than the $2mil+ we went over.

Look at Denver and PHX, both went a little more than $6mil over...would it be asking too much for the Millers and KOC to do the same?

Fesenko's cap hold is $1.1M. Add four D-leaguers at $400-$500K each. That's $3M over.
I think they try to add Brewer, though, so it's probably safe to say they'll be around $5M over.
IINM, they headed into last season $10M+ over, didn't they. Dumping Harp and Maynor saved $7.5M and Brewer saved them around $3M. But they had to sign Gaines and Jeffers. So payroll dropped around $10M, I believe, and they still ended up a few million into tax territory.
They can achieve about that same target by trading AK at the deadline and only taking back about $15.5M in salaries for his $17.2M contract (110% rule). Or find a team under the cap and make the deal unequal.
I take back what I said about the Millers being cheap. Acquiring Jefferson was a bold move and it most likely makes them luxury tax payers again for one more season.

LOL Aint, well, just figured i'd put them up there 1st since that's who has knocked us out of the playoffs 3 yrs in a row but, in my follow up post I put the entire list up. PHX and Denver are more fair points of reference, maybe even San Antonio who went further above it (about 10mil) and is in a somewhat small market too.

And the owners are crying poverty. With apologies to cj, the game doesn't appear to be in trouble. If I were Derek Fisher, as president of the player's association, I would use this summer's spending spree - specifically the outrageous contracts given to lesser players - as Exhibit A for not budging one iota from the terms of the current CBA.
Glasseater, but if they don't actually resign Fes, that $1.1 mil doesn't actually count against our cap does it?

I watched one game where he was in at the Summer League. He is by no means anything near NBA talent.

Just because they don't count against the cap does not mean they don't effect the Luxury tax.
