You don’t avoid (evade probably a better word) paying taxes nor avoid the cap

You defer when you are paying taxes - that’s the only benifit to doing this

Players in Cali have seen what Ohtani did and realized deferring and moving the heck away from Cali when you get paid makes a lot of tax difference

The CBA won’t care. However - I bet California changes the way athletes are taxes / tries to close this loophole
