Message: [QUOTE="JohnFSilver, post: 3909739, member: 1618"] We need to look at this rationally. If you have guaranteed $10M coming your way, and if you wait a year it could be more or it could be less, what's the point of not taking the money now. It doesn't make sense. That level of money, outside of playing basketball, is most likely unavailable to him as a normal human being in the workforce. He can't give up earning years. You just can't. The old NBA it was get as much money as you can in your first contract, which is why Donyell had to go when he did. But now? What are the chances he gets hurt again, his draft stock plummets, and he ends up being a 27th pick? That means the insurance won't kick in because he can still play. It's dumb. Is the money life changing? Then take it. [/QUOTE]
