Crazy how the LA teams always mangae to sign superstars . They don't seem to care about the higher taxes. Over the years the Lakers have traded or signed as free agents Wilt, Kareem, Kobe, Shaq, Gasol, LeBron, AD and now Luka. Unreal. Then we have the Dodgers signing everyone . The Rams traded for Stafford who is one of the best arm talents ofthe last 15 years.
The LA market seems to be a desirable spot for pro athletes. Mybe it's the weather or the lifestyle. Maybe it's the proxiity to Hollywood and the media. Whatever it is it's tough for SF fans to keep watching them land star after star.

It is a LOT of different reasons. But one thing is for absolute certain.....California taxes are NOT a reason why we cant sign anyone.

Taxes, winning, more endorsements in the LA market, get to be around movie stars, hot women, etc. it's not really that hard to imagine.

Not at all. Just pointing out that taxes isnt THE reason players wont sign with us as some have claimed.

Its money and having the chance to win every year. That is why the Dodgers get the stars.

And a better market for endorsements. Which is more money.
