Tax implications make things difficult to compare.
If signed in the same market, Point would get more than Marner and rightly so. With the tax issue, Marner may end up signing at a similar or higher cap hit.
Stevie Y explaining how to negotiate to Julien BriseBois before he stepped down as GM.
Steve: Think about it. Tampa players are out in the middle of nowhere with some dudes they barely know. they look around, what do they see? Nothing but open ocean. “Oh, there’s nowhere for me to run, what am I gonna do, say no?”
Brisebois: Okay…that seems really dark though.
Steve: No, no, it’s not dark. You’re misunderstanding me, bro.
Brisebois: I think I am.
Steve: Yeah, you are. ‘Cause if the Player said no to the deal, then the answer obviously is no. The thing is that he's not gonna say no, he’d never say no…because of the implication.
Brisebois: Now, you said that word “implication” a couple of times. What implication?
Steve: The implication that things might go wrong for him if he refuses to sign with me. Now, not that things are gonna go wrong for him, but he’s thinking that they will.
