The lack of leverage stems from while the ASG said publicly that they would be willing to pay the luxury tax in order to get over the top everyone around the league knows that it is completely bull. Perhaps the contract was structured with an a upfront bonus (like Portland did with Wesley Matthews to make it harder to match), but I am still disappointed that we got a 2nd rounder rather than an useful player this year.
