Yeah you are right, it doesn't cover the write-offs, but it doesn't counter the argument that the player will touch less money in some markets than others. My argument isn't that the players will pay the entirety of the percentage on capfriendly or even that some locations have deductions that may change the ranking of that list; im saying that there are markets where you will have more money in your pocket over others, and some to the point where it is markedly advantageous to go there.What cap friendly lacks is all of the various write-offs, deductions, investment structures and so on and what player uses what. Without seeing a year end tax return, none of us really know what they pay.
The net is entirely dependent on the above mentioned. Yes, tax accounts/finance people can figure that out for you, but that information typically isn't privy to the league/team.
Also, these writeoffs dont affect the cap hit, meaning that if Superstar A wants X amount net money, Team A needs to pay X, while Team B may need to pay X+10%
I was thinking some kind of calculator like the one on cap friendly where the cap is augmented according to those number for higher-taxed areas. If there are deductions that are decidedly advantageous in some markets, im all for that being part of the considerations. I am just trying to address how some teams would have to go over the cap by X (10%?) to have the same team as in another market.
