When you're 19, living close to home might be worth the pay difference. Besides, I don't think he'll really notice the difference in his lifestyle. He probably won't have to cut out any purchases or activities.
Might have to settle for an 80 foot yacht as opposed to the 100 footer...

You mean he won't be digging through the couch for soda machine change, or find a fiver in his pocket that he had forgot about and go buy a pizza? Weird!

State tax rates:
Ohio: 3.42%
Wisconsin: 6.35%

So the #1 pick is paying $51,813 in state taxes, while the #2 pick, despite making $600,000 LESS is actually paying MORE in state taxes at $58,102.50!

If Jabari decided to tank to not go to Cleveland, he made a bad business decision.

Actually, I think when you consider sponsorships and ad-revenue, I think he made a smarter decision. In Cleveland, he's WAAAY behind Kyrie Irving on the list of local celebs that companies want to pay for sponsorships, not to mention Indians players and Browns players (don't they have some new QB in town?).

In Milwaukee, he only has to compete with the other Bucks and the Brewers (whose #1 celebrity player is a tainted Ryan Braun). With the Bucks, he's probably the #1 guy in the market for sponsorship dollars. In Cleveland, he's probably not even in the top 5. I think he makes up the salary/tax cut with additional sponsorship deals.

I bet he tanked. It's millions of dollars' difference, but there's also a quality of life component to this whole draft thing.

Pay difference between #1 pick and #2 pick is $1,515,000 in pre-tax dollars, or $915,000 in after tax dollars.

So was the Cavs workout an intentional tank? I bet he was excited to be close to home with the bucks and less enamored with living in Cleveland.
