Your right about salary cap becoming an issue in two or three years. That’s why I suggested Shea reuse his eulogy for the next three to five years. That was the time frame I had in mind when I predicted Golden State would have a stranglehold for the foreseeable future.
But if the Warriors’ ownership were facing salary cap issues on the eve of the season where the Warriors could three-peat or even four-peat, don’t you think they would eat the luxury tax for a couple of years for the chance at basketball immortality? Only four teams have owned an entire decade: the 60s Celtics, 80s Lakers, 90s Bulls and aughties Lakers. It’s hard to imagine the owners would pass up a similar opportunity.
