building(really luxurious) and offer living in it as part of their contract. The way rents and leases are so inflated would mean money on paper and not out of pocket cash.It would also make it where players didn’t have to go to the trouble of getting housing during the season unless they just wanted to buy a house.

The Lakers may not be willing to spend under the younger Buss’ like they did with Dr. Buss. This may be the thing that actually helps OKC in the long run for a championship as they already have 2 superstars signed under relatively decent terms.
