What is the record of the eight teams that pay the luxury tax? The Lakers are not losing, the Green Army is worth the money, and the Warriors are too miserable

The biggest difference between the NBA and the five major football leagues is that it is impossible to achieve a quick championship by throwing money directly, because there are salary caps and luxury tax regulations, and the recruitment is restricted. So it's getting harder and harder to see a superteam now, and in a few years it's going to be rebuilt because it can't stand the luxury tax. So, this season, there are 8 teams in the NBA who pay the luxury tax, what is their record? The Lakers are not losing, the Green Army is super valuable, and the Warriors are too miserable

The Lakers are 7.05 million, 47-35, and seventh in the West

Thanks to several value-for-money contracts, Russell took a salary cut, Reaves, Hachimura, and Van der Biao did not ask for too much when they renewed their contracts last year, so the Lakers' total salary is only 168.1 million, exceeding the luxury tax of 2.82 million, and if they don't sign Vincent, the Lakers don't even have to pay taxes. Now that the Lakers have entered the playoffs through the play-offs, they have at least 2 home courts, and according to the Lakers' ticket price, it is very easy to earn back 7.05 million, so they don't lose at all.

The Heat have 13.61 million, 46 wins and 36 losses, and are eighth in the East

also has to play the play-offs, which is already 1 loss, and at present, Butler is almost reimbursed for the season, the opponent is the Bulls, and the probability of the Heat advancing to the playoffs is still relatively large. However, this time in the face of the Green Army, which has become stronger and has made sufficient preparations, the Heat basically has no hope of achieving Black Eight.

The Nuggets are 22.74 million, 57-25, second in the West

Not only did the Nuggets win the championship, but they may also build a dynasty, because the core players are all in their prime, and they are all on long-term contracts, at least until the end of next season, the contracts of the five starters are fixed, enough for them to rush for two more championships. In comparison, the luxury tax of more than 20 million is insignificant, and winning the championship can bring more benefits.

The Celtics are 39.49 million, 64-18, first in the league

The Green Army has not had such a good record for 15 years, the last time was the Big Three era, and now the Green Army's lineup is also unprecedentedly strong, and it is a standout in the East. They have been attacking the championship for many years, and the double tanhua has continued to grow, and has reached a very strong level, and not long ago renewed the contract of Holiday to prove that the team is willing to continue to try for a few years with the current lineup, in any case, to have such a high winning rate, the Green Army is already worth it.

The Bucks are 49.15 million, 49-33, and third in the East

With a big trade to Lillard and two coaches in one year, the Bucks went to great lengths to win the championship, just to keep their brother. But it seems that the effect is not good, after Rivers coached, the winning rate fell to less than 50%, Lillard was not as strong as expected, and Brother Alphabet was injured. He has 2 years left on his contract, but the last 1 year is a player option, that is, next season is the last chance, and if he doesn't have good enough results, he may choose to leave, and so many luxury taxes and draft picks for the Bucks are in vain.

The Suns are 64.16 million, 49-33, and 6th in the West

With the configuration of the Big Three, but the record is so unstable, the Suns only went straight to the playoffs at the last minute, if they can't play 2 rounds of the playoffs, the boss will lose a lot, and the Suns' tickets are far less valuable than the Lakers. And next season, the salaries of the Big Three will be higher, and there is basically no room for adjustment in the lineup, and then next season will have to pay a super luxury tax, leaving the opportunity for the Suns, in fact, this year and next year, if it is not successful, it will be disbanded.

The Clippers are 113.7 million, 51-31, and fourth in the West

Falling to the bottom and succeeding in the Northern Expedition, the Clippers are always so unexpected, they can make you be slapped in the face when you are optimistic about him, and they can give you a big surprise when you look down on him. However, everything is still in the playoffs, and this is also the last season in which the Clippers and Lakers share the arena, and if you don't want to leave regrets, you must at least reach the Finals.

The Warriors are 172.8 million, 46-36, and 10th in the West

Player salary + luxury tax, more than 370 million spending, is already unique in the NBA, but it failed to make the playoffs, which is really miserable. What the Warriors need to think about next is no longer how to compete for the championship, Lacob needs to face the questions of many minority shareholders, and the Warriors need to give up which meritorious players have made great contributions to the team, support young people, and find new bonus contracts to help the team get through the most difficult period.
