    Kevin Durant Taking Less Money Got Me Thinking

    Originally posted on 07/04/2017:

    They have several shows on TV this morning talking about how Kevin Durant took $10 million less than he could of, so they could sign Shaun Livingston and Andre Iguodala. Very admirable move by Durant IMO. The question I have is what is to keep these owners from maybe paying these players the money back after they retire? If I were an owner, I would let the player have an "advisory" position after their career and maybe pay them $1-2 million a year to make up that difference. Doesn't go against the salary cap, and the player still gets the money deferred. As a player, I probably wouldn't mind it, hearing all the stories of investments that go bad.

    certainly could happen. Durant is such a bitch tho for taking the pay cut just like he was a bitch for going to gsw.
