It's not like the roughly 6 mill gets magically added to your cap or something...

Would you rather be the titleless 07' pistons 500k under the luxury tax limit, or the 07' world champion spurs just over the limit?
Well, it could cost you between $4 and $6 million in redistributed tax monies, so if you are over, not only did you pay dollar for dollar tax, you also miss out on a nice chunk of the rebate.

Is winning a title worth giving up (potentially) $7 million? For a privately owned team of modest means like the Spurs, probably not.
