Nuggverse saying the tax (ie no income tax) in Florida makes the amount considerable? Either way, losing him kills us. We're going to waste at least a year of Jokic's prime

Not a new issue, our biggest FA's in my time were Kenyon Martin and Al Harrington. Is the city that bad? Do management have a bad rep in the league?

I know but really thought things would change after the ring and because of Jokic.

Management may not be as generous with their check books as some of the bigger franchises but again I thought that also changed as we slowly but surely built a contender around Jokic these past few years. Taxes, while not as bad as say California, are pretty high here, as you stated it apparently influenced KCP’s decision.

I may be biased but it’s a beautiful city…I don’t think that would keep away good players.

Some cities simply aren't as attractive in their culture (read entertainment/demographics) for the predominantly black NBA playerbase.

I mean, it doesn't explain why New York and Atlamta can't attract any really big name free agents, but that probably has more to do with the bad organizations that plague those teams, more than that factor.

Tl;Dr: It can be tough to not be LA or Miami.
