now your punishing teams with large arenas
Technically you'd be punishing more those who have seats they don't use which cost money and don't produce revenues. It's mostly managers who are in lower divisions and have 20k+ arenas. These people are most likely down there either because they are not active (no harm here) or because they are trying to build up cash against easier competition.

I'm against this luxury tax thing. Someone's probably already said this, but it's just taking away another way of playing the game. I thought there were supposed to a lot of ways to play BuzzerBeater.

You're assuming all these managers are of this type. What about managers who decided to build up there arena before improving their team, or former D1 teams who are down there because they are rebuilding and focusing on training younger guys. It is easier for these guys to train prospects in lower divisions because they can play their trainees at whatever position and still maintain winning records. This rule is hurting all these team and will probably end up driving managers away, especially those whose interest in the game is already low. If you're just trying to make money, you can do it much faster in higher divisions.

the luxury tax isn't taking anything away from playing the game, it takes some amount of money. no different than over-extension, or salary floor.

To the people crying and moaning about the luxury tax.

Do the Yankees or Red Sox cry and moan about the luxury tax they pay? No, because they still go out there, make their playoffs, win a few world series' (while paying luxury tax), and that's that.

Until you know what the tax is. It seems implied to me, that spending money to lower yourself Below the luxury tax level, will cost you more $ than just paying a luxury tax.

ALso, by the tax being there, does not by any means mean i cannot make 20-30-40-50-60 Million dollars still if I so choose. it just means I will have a tax paid. so instead of me making 1 mil every 8 weeks, maybe it takes 9 weeks to hit the 1 mil mark. HEAVENS FORBID

Yes, it is taking away the silliest/cheapest way of stockpiling money- one that does not exist or happen in any real sports leagues now or in the future.

Isn't that great :D

I might agree on this.

That's not true. You can get more money by "tanking" in higher divisions than "tanking" in lower divisions, however you definitely make more money by tanking in D3 or D4 than you do by trying to make the playoffs in D1.

Well they're being taxed for using/spending more money than the other teams not for having more money, which is the main complaint. Having a hoarding tax, not a luxury tax.

The Lakers are not being punished for having more money than other teams. The Nets are paying the luxury tax for using/spending more money.

If by trying to make the playoffs, you mean going for a championship, then you're right. But D1 teams bring in so much money each week that they can still have a very competitive roster, albeit not championship quality, and still make over 200k/week. You could make this money in lower divisions, but only if you're doing well, not if you're tanking. I can't speak for other managers, but I can say that is was easier for me to make higher profits in higher divisions, even while I was maintaining a competitive roster.
