Run into some old friends from another group or board? Want to do a little schmoozing, talk over old times? Or just some off topic stuff, then this is the place.
They are falling apart, its fabulous. They are the NBA Yankees, the 100 million payroll team that its just soooo easy to love to hate. They couldn't stop Dirk if they shot him in the head. Kobe is visibly pissed and on the verge of crying in the post game interviews. Phil "Soul Patch" Jackson is getting his karma and dharma and chi all out of whack and flipping out on players in the middle of the game. Its so beautiful. I am around all these Lakers fans and I want to see them get swept so I can suck up their tears like Cartman sucked up Scott Tenorman's tears.
I know, lovin it! They are definatlely the NBAs Yanks. Hope they get swept. Let the excuses and finger pointing begin. Im not an NBA fan, but like you, I love to hate the Lakers!

Doesnt the NBA have a salary cap?
NBA's cap is soft. Lakers have the highest salary at $95M, but Orlando is not far behind at $90, Dallas at $86, Boston at $83. It's not like the Yankees spending way more money than everyone else.
Tha Lakers do have the talent to come back, and Dallas isn't exactly a powerhouse this season, so I could see the Lakers coming back. I really hope not thoufh.

Do they have a luxury tax than for teams who go over?

Yes, but at a different level. This year, the cap is $58M, the tax threshold is $70M. tax is dollar for dollar above the tax threshold (ie, the Lakers pay $25M in tax, Orlando $20M, etc).
