winning as a role player coming off the bench means nothing. nobody remembers mitch richmond as a champ. dude would be better off kepping that $12 milly.
Why the fukk did David West turn down 12.5 mil to play for the Vet Min?

I gotta move to fukking TX
For what?
The only difference is the state income tax
State tax is what, 4 percent? Cant you claim some of that against federal?

They complain that the players are making too much money. They complain that the players are turning money down.
How about you just watch the game and stop acting like you're their personal accountants.

Exactly, Dude must've been real smart with his money to walk away from a guaranteed 12mil.

People can stay it's stupid and all that but in life sometimes there are things that will eat at you inside if you don't go for them. For him maybe even having a good chance at playing for a team he idolized with decent odds at winning a title is something he has to do. It's the same reason people leave cushy six figure careers to become Navy SEALs or people gambling all of their capital on a business idea.
He doesn't want to look back 20 years from now regretting never going for what gut told him to do. West strikes me as a lowkey guy who wasn't/isn't dumb with his money. He'll be fine, but I'm sure the chance at this means a lot to him.

I'm guessing you're kidding but I'll address this anyway. It's not about the material. Winning a championship is validating every athlete's purpose in life. Athletes are judged on their ability to win. For some of these guys if they fail to win it all, it's the equivalent of being an utter failure. It's like building a billion-dollar jet but it never gets to take off. All that potential but never good enough to go as high as it should've.
I dunno if you have a dream or a passion, but there's some drives that exist within people that are inexplainable and illogical to others, but if people don't go for them, all the material things in the world can't fill that void.

I'd sign for the 12.5 and buy a fake ring for 5 dollars in a flee market and sing to myself at night. "you're a champion

You sound dumb as fukk. He already made it, you're not a failure if you made the NBA. Only ONE team can win it every year so why risk it and lose money. The NBA is a BUSINESS! Owners ain't trying to take a loss in money so why the fukk would you? The LA Clippers were a TERRIBLE franchise for 20 years.. Dude purchased the team for like 2m and sold the team for 2 BILLION! Nobody cared if the team won a championship.. I rather give money to my third cousin than let some white man eat off me.

Save the insults my man, no need to be disrespectful. But you're speaking from your perspective and not his.
Sometimes in life you do what your gut tells you, and some people want greater things than just making the league. You've never met miserable rich people before? They're miserable because they never chased their dreams. That's what he's doing here, I'm assuming. His dream is to win a championship and play for an organization he idolized.
I'm not talking about what other people think of him. He clearly made this decision for himself and himself only.
We don't know the full situation either. Who knows if he isn't getting paid under the table or being compensated in some other ways.
