Why don't free agents take less money to play with Kevin Durant and Russy like they do Lebron?

[Swagnificent]

free agents do not wanna play in OKC.

this is the answer

nikkas are underestimating the lure of South Beach and the no taxes of Florida

the lack of state taxes and the beautiful weather are the reason free agents wanna be in Miami

 

[tremonthustler1]

Is there any facts to support this claim? Who exactly did the Thunder actively try to recruit and were turned down?

Exactly.

Free agents don't wanna play in OKC, but OKC isn't asking you to. The Cavs were getting turned down. OKC isn't seeking these players out.

But they're taking less money to play there which kinds of cancels out the no state income tax thing. It's all about winning right? Then why isn't San Antonio and OKC experiencing any free agents that want to come play their in order to win? Why is Miami getting all these vets for dirt cheap while the Spurs overpay just to keep Manu and they've been winning for over a decade now.

I notice winning didn't make your list obviously I'm not saying you won't win if you go to Miami but you didn't list that as a reason nikkas sign there. OKC is a center and a decent 2 guard away from a championship and nobody is willing to take less to play there but they're taking pennies on the dollar to get their ass to Miami.

Clippers went after him too.

I haven't seen 1 nikka take a dime less to play with KD and Russy in OKC. They even had to overpay Perkins bum ass to stay. OKC is competing for a championship right?
