Would you leave 30mil on the table to have a better chance at championship?

Melo situation... But what if it was you...

Would you leave 30mil on the table to have a better chance at championship?

 

[Shub]

Yes. Especially since his wife got money.

 

[Defying]

Yes. Especially since his wife got money.

I'm asking YOU, not what he should do

 

[bigtendominator]

Uh no.

 

[tatehill2000]

30 mil is a joke, as all of the stars have HUGE backend deals and marketing deals,,,, the only people the 30 mil REALLY matters too are the agents and the teams bottom lines,,,

youre underestimating how much 30 million dollars is...

even the top 1% would care about 30mil..

 

[tatehill2000]

true,,,, you are right defy,,, thats why I stated only the TOP nba guys,,,, melo has 200 mil in his bank account,,, what do you want? a ring? or some more $$

30 mil is what they say he is leaving on the table, but your not subrracting from it what he will be making from the other team??<<<

 

[CHOPTALK]

In Melo's case its probably more then 30 mil.

You are leaving the #1 media market in the world.
This would also hurt him on endorsement deals which would lead to more then 30mil down the road.

30 mil is 30 mil.

And the mindset of an ultimate competitor is that they probably think deep down inside they can win eventually where they are right now with the extra 30 mil so why leave?

 

[SECplayer]

Give me my extra $30 million. No brainer.

Better tax situation in Fla possibly--


suck it NY

actually great point...

Maybe a much smaller difference between Net pay when in NY and Tx/FL with no state tax

 

[JustinCruise]

If it was me. Absolutely yes. I am that much of a competitive person and I would want that championship.


It all depends what he values more.

 

[5teamparlay]

A top 10 reason LBJ picked heat.

 

[Defying]

For me, it would depend more on whether my family and I enjoyed the city, I'd stay...

but assuming all that equal.. I'm taking the extra 30 mil and hope I can find a way to win here.

 

[C.P.]

hell no....

I'm trying to sell one of my houses (it's paid in full)...

and they appraised it for 90k less...than I paid for it...f-me...

so I guess I just hold-it for now...

 

[Acebb]

No.

It wouldn't even be a consideration to leave $30 million on the table.

By the way, Lebron made more than $30 million when Beats sold to Apple...

sources say the 29-year-old was finalizing what is believed to be the biggest equity cash payout for a professional athlete in history as part of Apple's recent $3 billion purchase of Beats Electronics. Sources briefed on the situation say James realized a profit of more than $30 million in cash and stock in the Beats sale after he had struck a deal to get a small stake in the company at its inception in 2008 in exchange for promoting its high-end headphones.

The one in Florida? I am great friends with a real estate agent down the who is just killing it. She is having 2-3closing a week it seems. It does not hurt that she is a very hot blonde who loves to party and have fun.

Nice! Another totally lucky guy off some shitty ass headphones.

 

[aceduecetrey]

I don't know how accurate this is...

If that is right though, he better not consider leaving $30 million on the table
