I acknowledge you probably have more inside information than me considering your connections.  I'm assuming then that your friends know half of these players personally that have no semblance of a family life (your statement not mine).  Taking $124 million versus $129 million isn't much wiggle room if the goal is winning.  It's $1 million per year.  Who is NY drawing with that?

"Lebron James took a large sum of money."  That's an obvious statement.  Everyone in the NBA makes a large sum of money.  In his two year contract, Lebron will make less in his highest paid year than Melo will make in his lowest paid year.

Nothing about him staying in NY suggests winning an NBA championship was the priority.  He could've gone somewhere else or he could've taken $15 million a year.  What he did is fine.  It's his life.  If he's happy with his decision, whether it be for family or money, that's the important thing.  I just won't ever believe he did it with winning as the first priority.  When winning is the priority you do this [url]http://www.businessinsider.com/tim-duncan-cut-salary-half-to-keep-spurs-2013-5[/url], and that's a guy that's already won multiple championships.
