NBA Free Agency & Entrepreneurship

Free Agency has opened up for the NBA and there’s a lot of high profile athlete’s that are available.  Now I’m a HUGE fan of basketball but sometimes I just don’t get these guys.

I just think its interesting when you have talented players that with the right pieces to their team,  can be contenders to win a championship, are so quick to jump at the opportunity to just make a few extra bucks.  Well it’s not a few extra bucks, it’s like either going with a 5 year deal for $101 Million or a 6 year deal for $127 Million.  I mean at that point, is there really a big difference in money?

I mean if you’re a Ray Allen or a Kevin Garnett, it makes sense as they were going to a team that was instantaneously going to contend with a title, which they ended up doing so.  What I DON’T get is when a player goes to a team that totally sucks just for the money.  That’s annoying & it screwed up sports IMO.

Ya you gotta look out for your family, but sheesh, how big is your family when you pull a 100 Million Dollar plus payday.  That’s nuts.

I see some entrepreneurs do the same thing.  Where they get so caught up in the money side of things that they burn bridges, jump from opportunity to opportunity where all they have to do is just let a little grass grow under their feet and just build a business.

Money is obviously important, but you’ve definitely gotta have some integrity in class in business.  The grass isn’t always greener & relationships with your team, business partners are far more important than leaving just for the money.

What are your thoughts on this?
