Now that's just stupid.

yeah, i'm sure he's suffering financially...who needs a title anyway?

nashty

Meh...winning's overrated. I'd rather have the 10.6 million dollars.

Flippy

After taxes, that's only like 88 cents.

he had a few other offers for more from other teams, too. I guess after you've

"something more" is usually more money, no matter how much you have.

Cougarrr

usually. For West, it's 10.5M less.

Wow - not sure the Spurs have the wings to compete in the west though

Mills, Parker, Green, Leonard, Ginobli...they are just fine.

I'd take $10M over a championship any day of the week.

Depends on how much I already had. If I already had tens of millions, I'd

he has made 87 million in NBA salary already. Plus endorsments. I would

And how much are the Spurs paying under the table on top of the 1.4M???

"hmmm how did that 10 mil get in my locker?"

Wow, that is impressive from David West. Very few of us would do this

kimdaddy35

After making the money he's already made -- I'd sure consider it.

Pretty cool. Rare for pro athletes to be willing to do that.

Mr. Scoobs

7/6/15 2:51pm

Dang. Was hoping the Wiz would sign him.

Maybe there was a smudge on the decimal in $1.4M.

Wow... how much help does Tim Duncan need?

Nigel_Darkhardt

Not a smart man.

Looks like Warriors and Cavs offered more money.

BYUHawk

7/6/15 3:04pm

And he is a bigger need on the warriors

What's it come out to after taxes?

Josef K

7/6/15 3:27pm

Roughly $1.5 million difference after just state taxes

kimdaddy35

7/6/15 3:32pm

That's why the Jazz will never win a title

Twin Roots

7/6/15 3:06pm

Jazz would need a Popovich-type coach (i.e., recognized as the best in the NBA)

Mikey

7/6/15 3:09pm

Very true. Pops is the tops

Twin Roots

7/6/15 3:10pm

What was the cap like back then?

TNT

7/6/15 3:15pm

I disagree- this is an example of how the Jazz could win.

Nigel_Darkhardt

7/6/15 3:21pm

Utah is still a more unpopular destination than San Antonio

TNT

7/6/15 3:25pm

You are exactly wrong... San Antonio is why the Jazz can win a title

kimdaddy35

7/6/15 3:27pm

He is not crazy tv contract going up which means salaries (cap) are as well

I've always hated West as a player but I respect him for this move
