2011/12 Taxpaying Teams

		While teams get their books in order for the 2012/13 season, navigating the salary cap and the luxury tax threshold, Mark Deeks of ShamSports.com takes a look back at the league's 2011/12 finances. Deeks shares the official list of teams that paid the luxury tax in 2011/12, along with the amount each club paid. The list is as follows: Los Angeles Lakers: $12,557,264 Boston Celtics: $7,365,867 Miami Heat: $6,129,340 Dallas Mavericks: $2,738,843 San Antonio Spurs: $2,514,275 Atlanta Hawks: $666,199 The more punitive luxury-tax penalties introduced in the new Collective Bargaining Agreement have yet to kick in, so the tax penalties for the aforementioned six teams come by way of the old system -- teams are penalized $1 for every dollar they spend over the tax line. In 2011/12, that tax line was at $70,307,000, so the Hawks, for instance, spent $70,973,199 on their roster. Tax penalties for 2012/13 will remain the same as in 2011/12, but next offseason the CBA's increased restrictions take effect in earnest. In the summer of 2013, teams over the luxury tax line are ineligible to acquire players in sign-and-trade deals, while clubs that exceed the tax threshold for the 2013/14 season will pay an incremental rate based on team salary.

Damn the biggest thing that stuck out to me is the line that says teams over the luxury tax will not be able to get players via sign & trade.

our figure is going to get brutal as the years go on and the big 3 contracts continue to increase and we add mini-mid-level players each year and the tax gets more punitive. wonder if they take their ETOs and re-sign for less. they've already given up money though.

The league itself is shamefully corrupt, it's almost worse than boxing at this point. The NBA forces fans to watch who they want them to see, refs making questionable calls that just so happen to fall in line with the league agenda (David Stern), blocking trades so that teams they want to promote can get players and the new owner of the team they just sold can get a no.1 pick. Bob Arum is the only man in sports that is more sketchy than David Stern and the NBA executives at this point.

Lakers made moves, Boston made moves, the Heat made moves, the Mavs made moves, hell even the Hawks did something.

The Spurs......atleast we resigned Danny Green. Our biggest issue didn't get TOUCHED. [pic]
