People aren't respecting the fact that Wade and Bosh opted out to accept less money because it is a joke and a huge problem with the NBA.

Technically, the 5 best players in the NBA could opt out for less money, sign with one team, and then win 10 straight championships and make all of the money they're losing out on with endorsement deals from being known as guys with 10 straight NBA championships.

You may think that is worthy of praise, but really, it is just a different kind of greed. A greed driven by undeserved personal glory at the sake of the integrity of the NBA as a league.
