It seems like the Houston Rockets have been in the news a lot as it pertains to the luxury tax. At one point, Tillman Fertitta is speaking out against the tax, and at another point, Daryl Morey is saying he’s been given the green light to spend the tax.
So what’s really going on? According to reports, the Rockets have been holding off on a deal to acquire Andre Iguodala because of an unwillingness to pay the luxury tax. This doesn’t really make sense though because if Fertitta gave Morey the authority to pay the tax, what’s the hold up on the deal?
