OMG don't give basketball players this idea. Cities would totally write tax exemptions into law to land LeBron!

Haha, this is brilliant. Exempt NBA Star X from all state income tax if they play for the team - that seems completely believable.

Obviously NBA rules relate to tampering would come into play, but it would be a compelling story for the 24 hour sports new cycle.

I've read about athletes at least considering the income tax of a state in their decision, but I'm not sure it's ever been a deciding factor.

Tampering? Not if the law was written to say anyone making over 25 million playing professional basketball.

Getting reelected will be an issue.
