All Things Whiteside

After another injury? I dunno if he's a priority. I'd offer him money though.

 

I could have seen us doing it (had we striked out on others) before the latest injury but no way now.

 

Reasons

1. No state income tax
2. MUCH better weather during the season

 

3. Dame seems really obsessed with basketball

If you don't give a ton of fucks about basketball, those are all good reasons not to sign with Portland.

No state income tax means much less than you think.

If he signs with portland it does not mean hes a portland resident. That changes things.

 

I would love to see a breakdown of:

1. How much money the they save on income tax - because my understanding is that it only applies to games played in Texas.

2. How much time they actually spend in Texas every year.

 

I could see parsons making his way to golden state if they dont want barnes and cant get durant.

 

Neil knows what he's doing, our biggest problem this year was defensive intimidation in the paint, when Plumlee was on the bench we had one less passer on the court but our offense didn't really suffer because we have Dame and CJ.

Do i like the idea of signing the package of Hassan to a max contract? no, but Neil's job is to create a functioning basketball team, at least on paper.

 

And also: if Warriors somehow sign Durant i'm not signing anyone on a big,long contract.

 

Has Dallas missed the playoffs since Cuban bought the Mavs (after being awful for YEARS before that)? Also, don't they have the fanciest facilities in the league?

 

yes, they have (missed in 2013)

Since winning championship in 2011, they've won exactly 5 playoff games in 5 years.

 

I believe you are taxed by the tax code of each state. So his 41 games in Texas would be tax free and then any game he played in a state with state income tax, he would owe that tax.

 

I think that has more to do with Dirk, and less to do with Cuban constantly tampering with the roster.

 

If they do that, when is Klay a free agent?

 

Correct.

 

Since there are 3 teams in Texas a west team will roughly play what 10 games a year in texas. So thats only 31 games you wouldn't pay tax on for living in texas. Thats still a lot of money but is it enough to vault one team considerably over another if they are on a similar level?

 

You are only playing 1-2 in Dallas compared to 41 they play? For games in Houston and San Antonio, Dallas will also play them in addition to the 41 they will play at home so it's closer to 45.

 

But Portland (and all the other teams) also play in Houston & SA - so those games are a wash.

 

ah your right, I overlooked the texas teams playing each other.
