    Tim Thomas, Michael Olowokandi, Jerome James...any others come to mind? I don't think any Bucks come to mind for me.

    I don't know really who would be, but I am going to throw Carlos Boozer into the mix because I am a Cavs fan. He left because of the money and now there is a whole site on the web devoted to making fun of him for it.

    He did offer the Suns a chance to get him back for cheaper than what the Clippers were offering. :dunno: I don't know what LA gave him but he asked for 21 mil. from us.

    Jerome James, Erick Dampier, Mike James, Bonzi Wells, Stephon Marbury, and Steve Francis. I'm sure there are more but these come to mind the most of players that play for money.

    Mike James embodies this topic. Stephon as well. Not to say they aren't both talented, but they still don't give 100% until they cash in.

    $teve Cash, bolted the day of free agency to Suns for a bigger offer. Not only that but he's publically stated that he's worked out and trained harder in Phoenix then in Dallas because of the low offer.

It's okay though, you guys are doing well for youselves but it really helped us. The year before sucked.
