Everyone seems fine with older guys like Ray allen leaving a bad
team and joining a winner to get a ring
Why cant durant just skip that step and try and get a ring earlier
in life. I actually applaud Durant he would take less money and care
more about winning.
I hate more when a big star goes to a scrub city knowing he cant win but
wants a huge paycheck.
It is not like Ray Allen was in his prime when he joined the Heat. And also, Boston was always willing to let him go, as his name always appeared in trade rumors. In short, the Heat gave him more value and assured him that he will never be traded. In return, he gave the Heat that tying 3 point basket and eventually another ring.
As with Durant taking less money, I am not sure about that, not unless $27 million is small for a player who choked his way through Game 7 of the WCF.
