Depends. How much money have you made previous to this season?

If you've already made $30+ million during the course of your career, then it doesn't make a big difference to take a pay cut for one season.

If you've never been paid before, don't be stupid -- go get that money and enjoy the 0-82 season.

Nope. You just value money and comfort over winning and gold rings.

No, but you also don't have the money that West already has

Except the ring isn't guaranteed

No point in continuing the argument

Interesting how people on CB know what is right for other people

I wouldn't have said it was the wrong decision if he took the money

kimdaddy35

7/6/15 4:03pm

I never said he made the wrong decision, in fact I said the opposite

Gente_Boa

7/6/15 4:08pm

Besides I would bet he is getting something under the table from the Spurs

So you're suggesting they're doing something illicit?

benny1982

yeah, I'd wager it is way more common than you would think when salary caps

Gente_Boa

7/6/15 4:13pm

Given the legal implications of that, I'll disagree. The kind of crap storm that

Minnesota did it for Joe Smith

But would you feel that same way if you already had tens of millions?

benny1982

7/6/15 3:50pm

Yes, I would feel the same way

Gente_Boa

7/6/15 3:52pm

That seems weird to me, but I suppose there are a lot of people who probably

benny1982

The thing is the ring still isn't anywhere close to a sure thing

Gente_Boa

7/6/15 4:05pm

Of course it isn't a sure thing, but obviously he feels that the Spurs give

winning a title as a bench player isn't better than 10 million

thebruce

7/6/15 3:55pm

For you, maybe.

benny1982

7/6/15 3:58pm

yep

thebruce

7/6/15 4:15pm

i'd take the cash too.

thebruce

7/6/15 3:54pm

No but you may need to think deeper. And before someone yells personal attack

Accipiter

I doubt that. The residuals for winning a championship aren't going

No, but I would rather win at the point in my career as he is
