Playing in the city you want to play in >>> money
Playing with the people you want to play with >> money
Giving yourself the best chance at more championships >> money

If any of you guys get the money that he already has acquired and born into, you probably would understand better. There isn't too much more he can do with more money. He has enough already to do pretty much whatever. But look at what he loses if he chases the money in another city.

But if you’re getting enough money to set you up for life already and in a great situation the dollar amounts become less relevant

Only for cats that think short term. How many of these rich white men that own these teams are taking less money for anything? Corporations fire half their sales force to save a few bucks. But ya'll are encouraging these black men who will never have the earning power they have now to take less? That's silly. Say Klay signs for $25 mil less than he could. Say after tax, agents, etc he pockets $10 mil of that. Invested half way decently that $10 mil could be $20 mil by the time his kids are grown. That's real money.

Explain why the people that run the world don't think that way then ask yourself in what other area of life are we applauding people for taking less money for doing the same job?

You know this nikka stays high as fukk too lmao why would he want to go to some shyt franchise where he can’t even hotbox his whip without being paranoid?

CA sunny, all kinds of beautiful women, lots of investment opportunities, and low key I bet the owners have him hooked up with some sweetheart VC deals that will net him a whole lot more than the 50mm he’s leaving on the table.

Health is wealth, brehs. Mental and physical. Fukk living in a shythole like Sac or Orlando or whatever to please the NBAPA

They are....Draymond, Steph and Igoudala be investing in tech startups heavy. I know Klay probably in a few. Even if 90% of the investments go bad, you just need one to become a billion dollar company and you sitting pretty.

Yo some of yall wildin on this whole 'be happy' thing. These nikkas is making millions to hoop. Yea they're competitive and want to win but real talk it ain't consuming most of these cats like yall think. They play hard, do what they can, and if they don't win a title, oh well. Its only the top of the line guys like Bron, Steph, KD, AD, etc that catch any heat for not winning a title (other than the clowning the Dubs got for '16 as a whole). That's why 99% of the time guys go to the place offering the most $$$. They're living fairly dope lives even if they're winning 30 games a year.

Its better to live a dope life and win though. That's the point. Why be rich and lose when you can be rich and win.

2019 - 2020 season salaries
Steph - 37
Draymond - 18.5 (last year of his deal)
Iggy - 17.2 :wtf:
Livingston - 7.7
Klay - 25 (with new deal)

They're at 110/111 million already if Klay takes this deal.

They do have Durant's bird rights now, but I'm starting to think they let him walk. They gotta pay Draymond in 2020. I'd let KD walk before Draymond (cheaper and younger and can give a lower contract to since he'll be 30 then).

They don’t win the championship last year without KD, Draymond was good but couldn’t effect the game against that high level of offense. You need them all that’s what makes it work, plus Draymond is undersized that usually doesn’t age well.
