    No, you didn't link an article with actual CPAs addressing anything, because you didn't even read the article!
    What's your point? What's the counter argument other than "I bet"?

    Put forth a cogent argument and back it up. Other than trying to make this about me and my CPAs, failing at it, and discrediting articles because they're on blogspot, we've nothing of substance from you.

    That article I linked at the very least include comments from Tax Law experts like Mr Zelinski, who is a teacher of Corporate Tax and Federal Income Tax. That piece, the Bloomberg article and the Forbes article explain that the whole taxing situation goes way beyond the games taxes, it's complicated and it involves other income such as secondary businesses, investments, and that there are different tax avoidance strategies like setting up a different state of residency to minimize the tax hit. For example, even though Lebron is back in Cleveland, which has an income tax larger than Miami, Lebron can still leave his place of residence in Miami, and diminish the income tax hit.

    It was already a long shot, but if Spurs are bounced in the 1st round, don't think LA even considers us tbh.
    he's looking long term. he knows duncan/manu aren't going to be around long anyway, so i dont it would matter.

    Houston would look the most appealing to me if I'm LA. Two stars already in place to take the load off, get to play in Texas, the West is going to be weaker over the coming years, etc.

    The problem is they'd have to basically gut their roster. Terry, Brewer, Josh Smith, and Beverley are all UFA this summer and they'd have to let them walk, and likely Terrance Jones and Motiejunas next season.

    Can they free a max slot though?

    They'd likely have to trade a piece or two in order for it to work. My guess would be Ariza.

    That'd be a killer, IMO. Ariza has been amazing for them.

    Yea agreed. They'd basically have to give up their entire roster and fill it in with old vets and draft picks, ala Miami w/ Lebron and co, only I think it'd be worse this time. Don't know if I see that happening.

    You keep using this acronym "CPA", I don't think it means what you think it means. Try again and actually READ your article.

    Just because one is a tax expert does not mean that they're a CPA...damn it now I ruined your entire thesis.

    but when they lose in the first round, and we go back to back what then??? If home state no state taxes are his thing as well as contending for a chip then we are a much better choice than the Mavs and a better fit than the Rox

    BatM better to be obvious so the team can prepare than being shocked when the player bolts though

    I'm not sure how Aldridge is a good fit...

    He's a guy that requires tons of post ups to even put on points..

    He really didn't look like he wanted to be there, or cared if the Blazers won or lost last night from his body language. Even after the game he didn't seem thrilled compared to how he usually is.

    I think the Spurs have him if they absolutely want him. Feels like Dwight and Houston, except we're not sure the Spurs are willing to make the roster moves to free up the money. I could see him on coming over on a $37M/2 deal with a player option that he ends up not declining.

    Plus, there has been an unexpected addition to the equation: Aldridge this spring became a father. His son and the mother live in San Antonio.

    During the playoffs, when Aldridge was excused from the team's flight to Houston before Game 3 in order to fly to Texas for a "family emergency," it was because his ex-girlfriend had gone into labor two weeks early.

    Jaylen Lea Aldridge was born April 23, a healthy 8 pounds.

    "He's fat right now, looks just like me when I was little," Aldridge said. "He has like three chins, and his legs are so fat, it's like 'Man, it's time for you to start running.' But he has big hands and feet and he has my ears."

    It is a serious development for Aldridge, whose father was not a part of his life. He is no longer with the mother, but has an arrangement to see his son every other week.

    "My father wasn't really in my life," Aldridge said. "So I'm going to be very involved, trying to be around him as much as I can, see him as much as I can."

    If by a chance Aldridge does come to SA, then to make it work does ter have to go primarily due to his contract? And what might his trade value be after this injury riddled year?
