If getting under the luxury tax is one of your main objectives, I think it’s time for Wyc and co to consider selling the team
Either invest or don’t. But giving away good players for nothing cannot become a yearly thing if this team wants to compete
Invest or sell

Well avoiding the tax could actually be an investment. Avoiding that repeaters tax could mean they are signaling they will be a luxury tax team for the foreseeable future.

They can get under the tax without giving up a useful player. Just dump Bruno, Bol or Dozier. It’s smart to get under the tax this year.

They can duck the tax and improve the team

Yes they could. They could also sell cheap on Schroeder and do the same thing they've done before

You only avoid the luxury tax if you can get another star. It’s no sense of paying the repeaters tax when you don’t have a championship caliber roster

Right and since it’s been like 4 years and they haven’t accomplished that, that’s not the real priority right now

“Barring no.1, get under the luxury tax”
So if we can get a 3rd star, they’re willing to pay lol
I wouldn’t wanna pay luxury tax for this team as is either

I think the desire to get under the luxury tax is to reset it knowing that in the next couple years with the core young players they have now they’ll be way over it for years to come.

Dingleberry Wick loves to talk about Banner 18 but thinks it can be bought at the Dollar Tree

Haha the fact that they are open about getting under the luxury tax says so much about them man.

Agreed. They always say they’ll go in the tax for “a championship team” but haven’t invested in the team since like 2013.

This is exactly the thing that will force Jayson & Jaylen to leave. They won’t forget when the owners didn’t believe in them when it comes to next contract or trade request.
