    And why is Kobe's salary increasing every single year while his game will be downgrading every single year?

    Mad props to Dirk and Pierce for taking discount and helping their team's finances.

    Becauswe he didn't have too. Our financial issues aren't that bad if Buss is still using the MLE.

    You need to think about the big picture, the long haul.

    Both Pierce and Nowitzki signed HUGE per year contracts for 4x more money than if they didn't opt out (over 4 years, remember). They've hamstrung their teams for 3 more years beyond their current deals.
