Two responses to all this:
1. If Cuban won’t pay luxury tax like the other contenders do, that’s not the fault of THJ or his contract.
2. A guy who takes a lesser offer to sign with his current team on a descending contract isn’t getting paid the market rate. It’s a discount rate. I understand preferring bargain contracts, and Tim hasn’t been performing this season at the level he showed he could perform at. But his deal obviously wasn’t an overpay.
