I doubt that's the case. Why would any owner in their right mind try to make paying players more an industry standard?

if any thing, like someone said earlier, Lacob is covering his bases for that luxury tax come 2017

Because you price out you competition. Lacob has that silicon valley, venture capital dough. Dude has a license to print money and no incentive to save it. He is more than willing to spend. He's betting on the fact the other owners are not. If you're known as the guy that cuts the checks and builds powerhouses, the big FA's will want to come to you instead of the cheapskates.
