    He's also 36. Why did he take a max on his last contract though? So he was a selfish asshole but now he's not?

    They probably won the title during his last contract. Do you really think guys like Anthony and Kobe Bryant would do that In their mid thirties? I'm pretty sure Kobe has been collecting paychecks for about a year now. I don't know if he has max contract as NOGAFANBA except you but do you really think he'd accept less than half of his previous salary?

    Kobe's new contract is 16 million less than it could have been. That's a bit of a hair cut, no?

    You seem to give a fuck right now making this thread.

    Getting 48 million from the Lakers was a sweet deal for Kobe. Nobody else would have given him that sort of money. He left 16 million because he had to. Not because he chose to.

    Dirk could have gotten $12-15 million from a team if he was willing.

    Oh yeah, the issue is no free agents seem to want to go to Dallas (no idea why?), so even with him taking less to help the team, I doubt it will.

    I've liked Dirk since the mid 2000s. Do I give a fuck about any NBA game pre March 25th? Almost never.

    It's nice to see athletes stay on the same team for their career and sacrifice a little. It's a rarity now.
