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

[I AM WARHOL]

These pay cuts really don't sit well with me tbh but what can you do. Can't force players to take more money but the whole practice is shady to me

Only so many chances in life to play with the GOAT

"It's the popular thing to do," Bryant said after the Los Angeles Lakers' shootaround prior to Friday night's 140-106 loss to Nowitzki's Dallas Mavericks. "The player takes less, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I think it's a big coup for the owners to put players in situations where public perception puts pressure on them to take less money. Because if you don't, then you get criticized for it.

"It's absolutely brilliant, but I'm not going for it. I know the new head of the players' association ain't going for it, either."

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

This nikka still stressed!

This nikka so stressed that he hopes another black man goes broke

You know after Aldridge drop 46 on y'all like he did to Houston Durant leaving right? Right? You know I'm right don't you?

BEING A PROSTITUTE IS STAYING IN WACK ASS INDY
ALL MISERABLE
JUST TO COLLECT A CHECK
WHEN YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO LEAVE.

THATS WHY ITS CALLED A PLAYER OPTION.

HE WAS GONE WHETHER HE CHOSE SA OR NOT.



​

Teams love expiring contracts, he had tons of options. But hey its not my money he's the old one

Some athletes do know how to save their money.

So it probably doesnt matter to him

 

[RubioTheCruel]

nikkas up here at a man who has taken home 35 million dollars after taxes and agents taking a paycut, meanwhile these same nikkas dont have two nickles to rub together

 

[malbaker86]

Jesus Christ if that team is healthy

We still have to replenish that bench though. Manu is on his retirement tour this year, Cojo gone, Kyle Anderson wasnt impressive last year as a rookie, still need another big or two and some athleticism Off the bench in the WORST way

 

[Consigliere]

Y'all really in here watching this mans pockets. All up in the kool aid and don't know the flavor.

Maybe West has invested his $ wisely. Maybe he's got business lined up after he retires.

Maybe Tim & Tony are throwin him some work off the border under the table.

All I know is if Tim gets his 6th ring its gonna be a whole lot of sad Bean fans.

Your "goat" about to average 11 and 7

Even with his career earnings around 85 mil, this paycheck would have accounted for around 13% of his total career earnings

We need to stop acting like he left 2 mil on the table, 11 mil breh

This is pretty unprecedented I believe? Dont know why people are wondering why its perplexing to some

RC and Pop got nikkas on the Coli HEATED

Its his career and his life

 

[Primetime21]

He been in the league 12 years and wanted to taste a title run, I dont see the problem with it.
