Let's all laugh at David West

[Mr swag]

David West was in the twilight of his career anyway, had he started on the Pacers this year he woulda averaged like 10 pts 7 rebounds at best

This is stupid. He could have collected the cash and ring chased this year

 

[Sterling Archer]

Clown West for leaving money on the table and chasing a ring but clown Melo for taking the money and not chasing a ring brehs.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

He wasn't happy in Indiana....so he left. I hope I one day get to the point of financial stability where I can say "F the money, I'm doing what I want to do"

People will clown him for pursuing happiness in one breath, then call him a "40 Million Dollar Slave" in the next

 

[L. Deezy]

WTF

 

[Floyd Pinkerton]

David West was in the twilight of his career anyway, had he started on the Pacers this year he woulda averaged like 10 pts 7 rebounds at best

Yes, 10 pts 7 rbs and $12 million in salary

 

[mastermind]

why are we laughing at another man's significantly bigger pockets?

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

This Nikka gave up 11 million as a role player. If u are harden Steph lebron russ etc u can make that money back he can never get that money back. And as someone said as a role player it won't matter if he has a ring or not only the stars. I get he plays to win the ring but not for a 11 million dollar sacrifice man

 

[Remote]

You guys are morons.

David West has way more than 12 million dollars and has set up for his retirement carefully.

The difference in salary this year was 10.5M.
He's 35 and wanted a chance to play for a great team and LEARN from the organization. And he didn't want to play the mentor role on the Pacers anymore.

He decided that all that and a chance to win a title was worth 10M.

He has no regrets.

You fuccbois out here filling UPS trucks for $525 a week talking about who made bad life decisions.

 

[Doobie Doo]

This is kind of funny, I was tempted to repost OP's message on FB timeline but I forgot I'm friends with David West and his brother on FB. They from Raleigh and I ain't trying to burn bridges with millionaires especially since DW sponsored one of my folk's studio.

and thats why certain franchises are not going to win a title for a long time. That racist prick is laughing out there at this shyt, he was so blackballed by nba and he ended up stealing 2 billions at the peak of that garbage ass franchise.

Or gilbert being cheap b*stard and wasting Bron's prime till he left them and then gilbert realized in what dark situation he got in when his only superstar was not there making him his money.

Then we got bulls being cheap, I mean the list goes on

Even some of these owners who do spend money dont care about championship, like dolan, as long as dolan is the owner of the knicks that team is never going to win shyt, he waited a few years for so called rebuild and ruined the whole process quickly getting a few stars on the team in amare and melo, now he had a chance to start a decent rebuilding process with Zingis and other young players but they convinced Melo to stay because star names always generate viewers.

@jaguar paw did yo know we lost Bron cause gilbert was cheap

Anyways money can't always buy happiness. If he really saved up his money why not chase a dream. Maybe he wants to experience a chip and tell his kids daddy made it to the top

Always take the money..fukk a damn ring...

Rings only matter if ur MJ or Magic...

Nobody gives a fck if Byron Scott got a ring.

Fans might not give a fukk if Byron won a ring but Byron does and that's all that matters

LOL at saying David West has more than likely saved 75% of the 90 million he's grossed. You have no insight into dudes financial situation at all. In a world where athletes go broke after retirement so often, the default option isn't to assume dude has some large pile of cash somewhere.

There's a lot of people who disagree with ring chasing and taking paycuts for the team.
If West has enough money saved up to "afford" that choice good for him, I still don't agree with it.

West: Pay cut to join Spurs 'a calculated decision'

Or gilbert being cheap b*stard and wasting Bron's prime till he left them and then gilbert realized in what dark situation he got in when his only superstar was not there making him his money.

You have no idea what the fukk you're talking about

The Cavs were over the cap every year of Brons first stint
