From the article

That doesn't mean he had to take it. He has a mouth. He could have said, ‘No, I prefer that money to be spent on my teammates so I can win another ring. Give me Duncan’s deal.’ He didn't. He had the freedom to, but he wasn't obligated to accept the deal.

And no, I’m not saying he did something wrong either. Again, I’m saying he made a choice.

As far as the cap is concerned, it makes no difference whether the Lakers offered him the money or he asked for the money. The same amount is left for free agency. Either way, he still chose to receive more money over receiving better teammates.
