Why the fukk did David West turn down 12.5 mil to play for the Vet Min?

[Brozay]

Money is secondary to him...to me and you thats a lot of money. He already made 9x that number. Give him his props. How many greedy ass b*stards do we have in the league already?

See this is the point I just was talking about in my last post

Players are now 'greedy' for being paid what they're worth and will be chastised for not taking pay cuts

Melo is about to catch hell for this.

He will be a millionaire either way.

This coming year might be his last chance of ever winning a ring. I'm guessing he prefer to be rich with a ring than to be a bit richer without one.

LOL @ ya'll acting like 10 mil aint shyt when he already has money

He just declined his biggest yearly payday ever for a CHANCE of winning a ring

Chris Rock said it best. I ain't saying he shoulda did it, but I understand

 

[I AM WARHOL]

I may just be a loser but I'm not trading 10 mill for a bench championship . History ain't gonna give a shyt about him winning a ring has the 8th man

 

[Houston911]

the most we could have given him would have been 3.4 so he still would have been taking a Huge cut

Its more than the spurs and more playing time

The problem is West won't even get proper praise from the media for doing this.

The same media crying about players getting boatloads of money are the same people who'll crack jokes about players passing up millions. I hate people

nikka ain't straight enough to be leaving 10 milli on the table. nikka ain't Lebron

His net worth is at 27 million. He'll be OK.

If the player himself comes out and states that winning is more important to him than money ..then we should honor that man.

Now if Indiana was in the position to contend and he passed up to go to a more stacked team, then yeah I will agree with you. Not in this case

 

[Stinky Diver]

Going to be funny when he goes broke, stupidest shyt ever. He's on his last legs, Nbapa needs to step in.

So now hes going to go broke

Allow me to quote @Brozay when we were going at fattyfatcakes shelburne in another thread....

"Let him fukking breathe...goddamn"

Spoiler

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Terrible decision that he'll be regretting within years of his retirement

 

[prophecypro]

Guess he got that bank already

On the flipside, go somewhere else with that honor/noble/classy shyt...He simply made a decision, nothing else.
