Sign for what your market value is and not a penny less.

That's like me being a surgeon, but I take a job as a crew leader at McDonald's because they are always the #1 selling fast food chain:childplease:

step your comparison game up, smh. why would you not find a way for the hypothetical person to REMAIN a surgeon and take less money? and this thread is stupid anyway, you just can't equate winning a title as a professional athlete to anything in more traditional jobs.

While its clear your post is based in emotion, allow me to introduce a little logic. You never see guys who could get 20 mil take the minimum or guys who are young taking the minimum. Its always older guys who have already made a gang of money who no longer can really command a big salary. Winning a championship is usually a dream for players. People take less money to follow a dream all the time.

surgeons aren't sitting on $80-100 million they've made over their careers



and i better not ever see you complain about NBA players being overpaid, they're just getting market value:troll:

for real. That's why I stan Kobe. Wins ring without having to take a paycut. I bet if Mitch ever came to him to ask him for a paycut, he'll be like :childplease:

Serioulsy, if I'm an elite player, fukk taking a paycut. If it means me not winning a ring, so be it. I'm trying to make sure my grand kids are balling too. What's a couple rings to that? I'm sure I'll still be getting endorsements anyways.

This is even worse if you a journey man taking the minimum for a title. Average players who do this aren't even gonna be the talking point anyways. Okay, you got your ring only being the fourth option. too bad you gone end up selling that ring on ebay down the line for a quick cash.:pachaha:

Kinda off topic, but what are the lakers gonna do about Kobe?

If he doesnt come back, does that mean they can sign Howard and Paul?

If he does come back, that means they can only sign 1 of the 2????

Id hope for Kobe to come back, sign Paul, and get a cpl shooters for the league minimum
