    California state taxes on all income even not from state so while he pays other state taxes he will use it as a credit against his california's 13% still paying the high rate in actuality.

    When you're making nearly 100 million, either way you're not making
    A huge financial risk. But they correct in reporting that he is leaving guaranteed money no the table. You don't know what can happen in 4 years or whey the market will be like. Of course Houston is a better place for him, and its worth the risk, but it's still a risk (money wise).

    Yeah exactly. I am tired of that argument when he played at a very high level during those playoffs.

    The loss of Horace Grant to Orlando was a big blow to their team and until they retooled they were not good enough to beat Orlando.
