Wouldn't taking less money also mess other players' money up too?

When you're a superstar you pretty much set the going rates for the other players at your position. So if a dude like Brady were to take less then a dude like Matt Schaub may not get as much.

Maybe I'm looking a little bit too far into it.

I always wondered if someone like Kobe for example, who getting paid 30 million next year, was like "fukk it I'm already rich, I'll play for only $1 million" and gave the rest of his salary back to the team to acquire better players, try building his own superteam and try to get ring #6.

I know it wouldn't happen but it would be some cool shyt. Miami fans would off themselves:leon:

His agents would kill him.

fukk a ring, pay me. Derek Fisher has 5 rings...does anybody here really take him seriously as a champion? How about Steve Kerr or Brian Cardinal? Then let's look at guys like AI or Barkley or Stockton or Malone...legends.

I'd take my market value or above. I'm not about to take less if some bum is making way more than me just so I can get some players in to COMPETE for a ring. Key word being compete, because ain't no guarantee you'll even win a championship with a stacked squad.
