<div class="quote_poster">Quoting drm2dnk:</div><div class="quote_post">The punk didnt choose higher chance of silverware(dallas or houston) or stay close to his home(houston) or how much someone wanted him, but rather financial security with minnesota. THat's fine but he shouldn't be mouthing off so much in the radio interview. He's such a arrogant little punk talking so much b.s when the truth is it was whoever would pay him the most. It's ok to decide that but don't fake by saying it wasnt about the money</div> I thought I read that Minny offered James the same amount as the Rockets, with the only difference being the trade kicker...Meaning he only joined the T-Wolves because they were the only team to agree to his no-trade option.

The Rockets and Mavs would have signed him to a 3 year/$17 million contract. The Wolves got him for 4 years/$25 million. They'll be paying him close to seven million bucks at the age of 35.
