Here's a fun hypothetical.
Congratulations, you are now rich. I mean like Ted Turner, Mark Cuban, Buffett, Gates rich. And you are clearly a Celtics fan, because you are on this site. Say your favorite player becomes a free agent, and through some hypothetical act of God, is preparing to sign with the Lakers. Do you offer him max contract money to not play with the Lakers? Do you, with every dollar the Lakers raise, try to outbid him like a USC booster?
Also, if your reality issue with this stems from the luxury tax and salary cap issues in the NBA, and not with you being Bill Gates rich, you probably need to take a few days off.
