It is not a "small" amount. Many times is can amount to upwards of a million dollars depending on salary. You clearly stated the following:
got it, so you are DEFINITELY trying to use a constant unavoidable variable to reason why he shouldnt be in the best possible situation. brilliant. if he will have to pay a small amount of state taxes in 48 states regardless of where he lives... then it doesnt matter than the overwhelming majority of his income will state tax free. got it.
So again, the assertion is incorrect but you can try to backtrack any which way you would like.
no youre just too dense to realize despite it being explained 5 times in the past 25 posts that him taking a few million less, would be EQUAL to any other team's max offer. ill break it down for you cuz reading is difficult. miami's dollar, is worth more than every other team's dollar, because he wouldnt be paying a state tax on his salary. so if hes worried about a max contract miami can slice a FEW million off the top of his contract and he wouldn't see a difference.
so what is this better situation? the struggling lakers? mavericks who cant get over the hump? whiteside is heavily invested in miami as a city already. should he just cut his losses for the same amount of money and go to a team he hopes will be better? i rather be surrounded by HOF players than draft picks and average players when im in my prime. what do u think?
