Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 2585117, member: 874"] Do lawyers compete for annual championships? And yes, within the profession, there are lawyers that are looked down upon because they care only about the money. You've heard of ambulance chasers, haven't you? There are other careers where money chasers are criticised. In healthcare there are doctors, physical therapists, etc. that are all about the money and others that are willing to make less to provide superior care. I never said anything about loyalty. I said he made two poor decisions with regard to putting himself in a better position to win a championship, if that was the top priority. Just because he was a "max contract" guy doesn't mean he was required to take max contracts. We're not talking about someone deciding between one job that makes him poor and one that makes him wealthy. We're talking about one 8 figure annual salary versus another. That's not a salary difference that determines whether you have the ability send your kids to private school versus public or if you can live on the good side of town versus the bad or if you have to buy a used car versus a new one. It's the difference between living in a mansion versus a more expensive mansion or which luxury car(s) do I buy or how many resort vacations do I take. The take that is old and devoid of logic is the one where poor Melo was forced into situations where no decent players were around to help him. He wasn't forced anywhere. He had the same options other elite players had when he was in his prime. Was he guaranteed a championship if he went elsewhere? Of course not. Could he have taken less money to put himself in better positions to compete for one? Absolutely. [/QUOTE]
