I know it's not nothing, it's a bunch of money, but still, you measure money relatively. If you have a salary of $30k a year, a 5-10% raise means a lot to what you can make of your life, if you have $100k/yr, 5% is more money, but less change to your life.Several million dollars isn’t nothing to a player. But also, I’d the Jazz are committed, it sounds like they can be the team to offer those extra millions.
I can't believe an NBA player would squander a chance to play for a good fit, compared to a bad team, based on a 5% diff. Yeah, it's a serious amount of money, but still...
