Tobias Harris wants to come to utah

It’s 32.5 vs like 27.8 this year... total difference is around 20M over 4 years... I doubt he’d do the 1+1 structure.. he ain’t KD... if he tears his Achilles he loses copious amounts of money.

Your job thing is fine but it isn’t hate vs love it’s multiple situations he likes... he may prefer one but he may not 70M prefer it.

I dunno man. Have you ever been to philly? I would say it's gotta be bottom 5 citys in America. Tons of crime, dirty, plus you'd have to play with Embiid AND Ben "scared of 3's" Simmons.

Not sure about that.

On the other hand, I'm wondering: how is Utah's state tax compared to other states? About 5%? That could make up some of the gap

He’s from NY... it isn’t just us vs. Philly it’s Brooklyn (maybe) at full max... Indiana at full max, Dallas at full max or Utah and 20M less...

If he isn’t into the status of being a max free agent then the money may not matter as much but in general dudes don’t take pay cuts... even small ones.

I guarantee someone within the block you live has. I talk to people everyday at work that have moved from California to Utah even though they'll make significantly less money. They all say the same thing, they love it here and wanted out of the crime and psycho people.

The state tax component isn’t huge... they have to file in like every state so only like half their income is Utah based.

Sure they do. Max money guys are a bit more rare sure. Think of all the "ring chasers" you don't think a DeMarcus Cousins could get more than 5 million last year. Maybe Tobias falls slightly into that category.
You remind me of my buddies who wouldn't ever ask out the hot girl cause "she'd probably just say no" guess what, ask them out and make them say no. Sometimes you'll get lucky.

Sure, not arguing about that. I've met many people who chose money/success over happiness. And otherwise. I'm just not venturing to say every person chooses happiness (people just have different priorities and somehow happiness is not one of them)

I lived in Cambridge for a couple of years and loved it there. I've also been to SLC and really like it. I'm now in Mexico City (sacrificing my career) for personal reasons and I'm having a great time. For me it's not so much about the city but also the people around you and the things you do.

NBA players have different priorities too. There was a rumor DLo wanted to go to the Suns. WTF would you do that if you care about winning or being in a good situation. Hopefully, Tobias cares more about being in a good environment than money. But there is no way to tell (it's a ton of money too).

Cousins was rare because I think he could have made maybe 10M somewhere but long term his best money was a one year deal... he got it from a super duper team with stars in one of the NBAs best markets.

Look I’m saying have the convo for sure.... but people out here gonna get they hopes up when the odds are even more stacked up against us now.

I’m saying there are like 5 very unlikely dominos that would need to fall now so go ahead and dream but it’s not a real possibility in my mind.
