Niccas really justifying giving up generational money to win a championship.

A great man once said, "The only thing that's real is the money and the miles." :aggie:

He's already got generational money... and gonna be in the same tax bracket regardless of this check if he's been spending his $ right.

After you've made $90 mil you can afford to pass on 1 pay day.

He made close to 90 million already. He has "millions of dollars" already. He doesn't have championship rings.

This site really think nikkaz just wanna hoop for money and not to actually win?:mindblown:
Man he get a ring as an assistant coach a fukkin towel boy. he won't be the key cog to winning it. His ring really wont mean shyt. If that's what makes him happy who am I to judge?

That's 90 million before taxes, and that's not including agent fees or other expenses. David West isn't exactly LeBron status where passing up that kind of money is nothing :mjpls:

And him not taking a $10 million paycut =/= he doesn't care about winning. And contrary to what the narratives those media cacs want to push say, It's possible to want to win and want to get paid too. It isn't one or the other

But at the end of the day, it's his life, he can do whatever he wants. But me personally I wouldn't turn down $10 mil for a chance, not a guarantee but chance at winning a title.

At his age, he should be coming off the bench anyway.

Ray Allen didn't start but he didn't had an impact on the 2013 Heat? And he won a ring prior to that championship.

This is literally the same s*** or potentially

You cats are stupid. These nikkaz are already rich.
Big difference between rich and wealthy. David west a real nikka, real as it gets for black empowerment. But my nikka lost his damn mind.

Money is obviously not his worries.

Picking money over actually winning when u already got money is what stupid nikkaz would think up of
He won plenty of games in Indy.. wtf are you talking about. They went to game 7 of the ECF's against Miami. The Spurs will be a favorite to win it all but they haven't won it yet so what's all the crystal ball talk all about?

I could understand a few mil, but forfeiting 10mil over the course of 1 season for something that is FAR from guaranteed is just stupid to me

it's totally idiotic. that $10M could be more generational wealth to pass down to your fam.

a potential ring is cool, but it ain't gonna help your kids and grandkids when push comes to shove.
