Lebron is rumored to be looking at and buying this house in Dallas. He’s obviously not coming to the Mavs, but I think this could point to him leaving Cleveland for LA. If he’s playing in LA, he may want to establish a permanent residence in a state with low taxes. Could be all rumors though.

aren't players taxed based on where they play their games though?

Quote:

Athletes file taxes not only in their home state but also in every state—and some cities—in which they play. Not every state uses the same calculation to determine what portion of an athlete’s income to tax, and some use different calculations based on the sport. For example, Pennsylvania taxes baseball, basketball and hockey players on the ratio games in the state over total games played, including pre- and postseason, but they tax football players based on days worked in the state over total days worked. Michigan uses the same method but excludes the preseason. Most other states use the days worked method. Arizona uses that method but excludes days worked in the pre-season (otherwise MLB would be shopping for a new spring training home).

Maybe it'll matter how he pays his taxes on his endorsements.

Don't forget that he had that run in rd 1 of the playoffs last year vs LAC that caused the TZ playoff thread to put ISO JOE in the title.

Then the rest of the playoffs was so bad and uneventful that it stayed there for the next 3 weeks or something like that.

tbh, I'm intellectually in favour of "the process", but "The Process" is one of the least likeable players in the NBA. (per persona as transmitted through the screen in-game)

Is Giannis ever gonna learn to shoot?

Sucks if the answer is no, has so much goat equity

Kind of amazing that defense was a huge on knock on Ben Simmons' game coming into the league, dude is going to make a few all defensive teams by the time he's done.

So this is a more interesting question. Doesn't it depend on if he's ever forced to?

First of all we have to see how the play-offs work with Giannis. Then he has to learn from that. Then we see,

Arguably he's been slow to improve this part of his game. But on the other hand he's been improving other aspects in such dramatic ways that it leads you to call him a goat candidate.

Elfrid's hair is the most ridiculous thing ever. How the F does it not affect his vision?

Will Isaiah even be in the league next year? The Eastern Conference isn't far from the G League. He's so bad

Jokic benched or hurt?

I think IT gets like 2/25 from Sacto or something. He fluked on the Celts so bad, I remember during the playoffs last year in the thread people were debating him and Wall. Smart/Bradley/Crowder covered for his D deficiencies in a way that no other team ever will.
