And I'm not saying it never happens, just that it's quite rare.

And the Pacers weren't actively trying to trade PG at the deadline. As far as I know, Boston came to Indy with that offer. At that time, they were still trying to add pieces to keep PG happy. Which they failed miserably at, BTW.

They were trying to trade him and Paul George wasn't happy about it.

I think Pacers know he isn't as good as people make him out to be. He's good don't get me wrong but more of a #2 option than #1 and probably not worth the money he will get. Like countless other NBA players.

So that is more than worth it for them. The players they have are very marketable, they all sell, they all appeal to different NBA fan demographics. It's not just Lebron James and then a bunch of whatever.

Each player literally has their own fan base. Klay was just in China? He looks like a god over there.

What's the point of the luxury tax then? It's pointless IMO. Then again, I guess the name of the tax pretty much fits its purpose.
