this contract + jayson werthless' will blow up in their face
Who cares if they're spending money? If the revenue streams that come from having a successful team > payroll, it doesn't matter. Having a billionaire owner doesn't hurt either.

Here are the C.Lee performance projections for a 7 year deal:
