But I think there has to be some fairness here. Call it Mo money, Mo problems. If you pay me a fortune, to build a skyscraper, and the contract window is 6 years, you likely will expect me to work weekends, work sick, put off the vacation, miss the kids ballgame, right?
I feel for the NBA guy on the minimum deal, no guarantee, who gets the treatment outlined above…but if you're one of the top paid guys on the team, then the team naturally has a right to think "Dude, you can retire on this contract, so we expect you to go injured, to give it your all…not play it safe so in 6 years you can get another huge contract" What did he make, $200 million in his career? I'm shedding no tears.
