It's not 5mill. It's 130mill in salary and taxes THIS YEAR ALONE as well as being hamstrung in every single transaction including MLEs.
We're fucked because of KP's max deal and Donnie being useless for so long. That's it. Nico split that KP deal into two, but we're still saddled with that ridiculous salary with Luka's max deal kicking in too.
If we weren't in cap/tax hell, it would be another story, but let's not be disingenuous with our reporting. It's not Cuban balking over spending 5 million.
