wouldn't you factor that in? Athletes are generally competitive after all.

That's not say that TX and the other states don't have competitive teams, but not all of their teams are great and some of the teams n tax states are.

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
