If you could retire at 40 with 180 million dollars and 3 rings rather than playing for a team with a 50% winning percentage.... - ty97 Jul 5, 15:47 9
- Houston is a better chance to win as well and there is no income tax. Win Win -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 15:48 8
  - But at every player can play for Houston. (also, have you been to Houston?) -- nm - ty97 Jul 5, 15:49 7
    - I have not been to Houston but I hear it's the armpit of Texas. Which goes to prove my point. Live in a crappy place to make more - Bacon Jul 5, 15:50 6
      - So live the prime of your life in a place you may despise in order to make 200 million instead of 180 million? - ty97 Jul 5, 15:52 5
        
        houston sounds like it has amazing, diverse food and a great arts scene....nm - x Jul 5, 16:07
        
        I don't think I would despise any city with an NBA franchise. Okay, wait. Indiana Pacers. That place would be brutal. So no way on that place -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 15:55 3
        
        I am speaking theoretically, of course, of someone weight two options. - ty97 Jul 5, 15:58 2
        
        I will say this. I don't think I could live in NY so there is that. I am not a big city guy. I get claustrophobia -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 16:02 1
        
        I am not making an argument for any specific place. - ty97 Jul 5, 16:08
Pick the worst place in the country. Everyone here would live there for 200 million dollars. Well not the dumb people with principles. - Bacon Jul 5, 15:46 5
- Just remember it's not 200 million vs 0. It's 200 million vs 90-95% of 200 million. - ty97 Jul 5, 15:48 4
  - California has a Millionares tax that really digs into that much harder than what you are saying -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 15:49 3
    - CA has a graduate system where the income over $1 million is taxed at 10.30% for an effective rate of roughly 10%. - ty97 Jul 5, 15:54 2
      - Then you also have to compare sales taxes I would guess. He's going to spend a lot. -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 15:55 1
        
        Sure, and property taxes too. But those are probably a smaller differential. - ty97 Jul 5, 15:59
