I mean..yall get mad but If he wants to take less than the max on his own accord to keep a winning team around what can you do?
The NBAPA has to hate shyt like this though. This just puts pressure on other max players to take less for the "good" of the team. Nothing in life is ever just done on your own accord, others are always affected.

He's not the first to do it though, nor does it sound like he'll be taking any Tim Duncan-like deductions or anything, and if it's what he wants to do... :yeshrug:

Brehsident evil
KD's Nike contract is worth like 400 million dollars alone. That's just the Nike contract by itself. He's gonna be worth a billy if he wants to be worth a billy.
taxes will take 40%

agent will take 10-15%
that like 50-55% chopped off already

but.. to me.. he is making the right choice at this point.

it's the league he inherited. Other "max" players aren't in KD shoes, where you can literally be a perennial title contender every year.

Kobe married a white woman also nikka.

Kobe married a Mexican

When reporters asked Kobe if he would take a paycut to help the team, he laughed in their face and said

"hell no, why would I do that? It's the GM's job to build a contender, it's not my job to take less money to make his job easy"

Get off my dikk hoe

Kobe never been outed as gay or took a paycut

He held it down
You swallow Kobe's cum like a hoe. You're the one who said Tim Duncan married a white woman so he ain't real but trying to excuse Kobe like a groupie.

he is a grown man that can make his own decisions....

he is also a superstar that can possibly offset lost income on the court with offcourt business opportunities

now whether he should do this to "help the owners" keep the team together is debatable...the owners should pay the tax because 1)they get public financing breaks and subsidies for stadiums etc 2)the values of winning teams go up exponentially. Paying the tax should be their fukking problem

KD doesnt owe the Warriors anything. Besides they already caught their break with Steph's contract. Its time Lacob got to open his wallet :russ::russ::russ:
