Everyone will give LBJ top money, as the league is allowed. NOONE, is in advantage position here, and it doesn't matter how deep your pocket is. There are rules to follow.
As for the market perspective, I already talked about that in previous post. He was, is, and will be covered FULLY, even in Alaska, as long as he's still performing amazingly, same as Wade or Kobe (not he's available).
They can claim they will build around him as much as they want to, just like every other team. What's the credential?
I don't plan to convince you, but let's wait and see - the so-called big money and big market advantage is more of NY fans delusion.
