NBA champions of all time with more than 189 million dollars

If we talk about the total spending on the "staff" (player salaries plus luxury tax), "Nets" have become the NBA champions of all time with more than 189 million dollars. However, if we consider only the payroll tax without duties, the primacy belongs to other clubs.

 102 million with little to pay for his basketball chempionat-2013/14 "Nets" inferior 105.6 million "Portland" -2002/03, until this off-season is the payer of the largest in the history of the luxury tax (51.97 million) . In that year, Scottie Pippen, Rasheed Wallace, Shawn Kemp and Damon Stademayr earned in the "Trailblazers" 8-digit amount, nearly 7 million fortune 38-year-old Sabonis. But all this childish pranks against spending "neighbor" Prokhorov James Dolan - the owner of "New York", which is the home arena of Brooklyn's Barclay's Center only separates the East River. In the mid-2000s, Dolan wrote out his players regularly checks totaling more than 100 million, and sezone-2006/07 altogether goodbye to 117.3 million, besides paying taxes 45.14 million.

Most of the players, "gobbled up" the lion's share of a record budget, no longer play in the NBA, and their legacy is in the best cuts of the highlights on youtube. Since the introduction of the luxury tax in 2002, the "New York" in general duty to pay more than others. In 10 seasons with the club sought 205.25 million for the "high life". And a host of generosity, "the Knicks' other than mindless not call: during this time the team came out only 4 times in the playoffs, breaking the barrier of the first round only munuvshem draw.

The second place in total tax paid thereon is "Dallas" Mark Kyubana. The pursuit of sports victories eccentric businessman worth 150 million tax payments, but sezone-2010/11 "Mavericks" somehow recouped his investment first title in the club's history. A large price for the title, is not it? Especially against 12.6 million who spent taxes Peter Holt - owner of "Spurs", three times won a trophy in the "era of the tax."

Last season, the biggest tax deduction made "Lakers" have paid 29.26 million. The size of their wage bill was only a couple of million lower than the current "Nets." Space difference in the amount of tax due to new rates, utvrezhdennymi after the lockout in 2011 and entering into force in the coming season. So if it were not for this legislative nuance, there would be no record of Prokhorov!

Salary cap in sezone-2013/14 be 58,679,000 dollars. If you exceed this amount, the club (with a few exceptions - they are separately specified in the collective agreement) has the right to sign new players only through the exchanges. At that payroll can not be less than 90 per cent of the level of the salary cap (in this case - 52,811,100 dollars). From the moment that the addition of the player displays the payroll for the level of 71.748 million dollars, the club begins to pay with each additional dollar invested "luxury tax." Moreover, this tax is calculated on a progressive scale: for example, a contract for Kirilenko, who became the sixth rookie "Brooklyn" in the off-season in 2013, the rate was 4.25. That is why the Russians for not very large salary (just over $ 3 million) cost the club nearly 17 million of the cost!
