Root for Dirk x2

[J_Paco]

First off, obviously if money were the deciding factor, the lakers would have dispatched the mavs and be in the process of 3-peating right now.

And secondly, in 5 years time, the heat will be almost bumping the cap with 3 players' salaries, and will almost surely be outspending Cuban by a longshot.
Which pretty much renders your point moot.

But by all means, if you want to keep crying about the injustice, feel free. I won't stop ya.

Yes, cause I'm sure a billionaire owner like Cuban will be content and just stop spending. Since we've got great examples like Paul Allen, Dan Snyder, Tim Dolan, the Steinbrenner family, Jerry Buss and Jerry Jones proving that to be the case. He'll continue to spend because he's in a large media market and wants to win (a) championship(s). His history since owning the Mavericks proves that he'll continue to take on contracts and sign players if he thinks its the right move.

Maybe you and spurs10 should just sponsor your own charity cry-a-thon. For every tear you shed, callers can call in and match dollar for dollar. Bet you both could raise a lot of money that way.

There will probably be a hard cap, or such a severe luxury tax that the Heat and Mavs will be spending pretty much the same on players.

Money isn't the deciding factor alone, as this year's Finals might likely prove. The Spurs wouldn't have had enjoyed the success they have over the recent years if it all came down to money. I also don't feel it's a horrible injustice, it's just a fact that rich owners can buy a lot of talent. Even if a hard cap is imposed it's unlikely to change the fact that 3 players in Miami will be "bumping the cap" in five years. I get it that the Heat players aren't exactly scrambling for rent money.
By the way the Mavs payroll was higher than the Lakers this year if I'm not mistaken.
