In Wheeler's specific case, even considering the local taxes he took less money - Illinois income tax is currently under 5%, income tax for Philly is about 7% incl. the state and local income taxes

I wasn't saying that was the issue with Wheeler - I cited taxes as one possible explanation. Maybe Chicago's offer was more backloaded. Maybe it included option years and they were factoring in buyouts. Rejected offers are never fully made public.

That's all for this week, and I believe that'll be all for Klawchats in 2019. Thank you all for reading, and for all of your questions. I'll be posting frequently to the dish in the next week, and reacting to any major signings or trades in the same time period, so keep an eye out for those. Happy holidays!
