Any way the Thunder go over the Lux Tax this year?

I don't think so.. If I was Presti I would be doing everything in my power to package Thabo+++ for Afflalo.. He would look awesome in an OKC jersey. So sick of Thabo on offensive end.. That guy is a black hole on offense.

Not this year, I think next though. At this time, there's not much of a point unless an offer for a player blows you away. There's enough room to do something without going over now (2.3 mil plus if Thabo's traded, thats another 3.9).

Just to echo what DontH8 and bondom said, not this year. With the repeater tax, and Durant and Westbrook contracts coming up in those years, it's wise to wait a year.

Here's why...

Tax is supposed to go up to 75ish mill
6.5 mill TPE
5.5 mill MLE
Perk 9 mill expiring
Currently 2 late 1st rnd picks

Thabo, Fisher, Thabeet not currently under contract for next year.

I think they'll keep one of Thabo or Perk.

Perk has value as an expiring and Adams needs to start or move Ibaka to the 5, and start PJ3.

Thabo is a good 3-D player, and doesnt make KD guard the teams best perimater player every night.

I do agree they wont go over this year, maybe next though.
