<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">A few days after signing with the Kings, Mikki Moore was still in the New York area, instructing kids at a basketball camp. In an interview with the Staten Island Advance, Moore talked about how much he wanted to stay, but that the disparity between the Nets offer and the Kings offer--almost $8 million--was too much. In fact, he said, his Nets teammates advised him to take the money and run.</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> "They told me if I turned down a lot of money, they were going to fight me," said Moore, who is engaged and plans to marry next summer. "They know it's a business and they knew I wanted to play with them. And I know that they wanted me back, but they told me I have to think about my family and the long-term." And yesterday at Fastbreak, working with a bunch of diminutive Nets fans, didn't make Moore feel a whole lot better about the decision. "One kid asked me 'If I bring my shoes tomorrow, will you sign them?' I said 'Yeah,'" said Moore, in a story he swore to be true. "Then he said 'If I bring you my t-shirt tomorrow, will you sign it?' and I said 'Yeah.' Then one of those little, little kids said 'If I bring you a Nets contract, will you sign it?'" Obviously, that was one request Moore could not comply with. "I had to walk away. I asked my fiancee, 'Did you just hear what he said to me?' She just laughed," Moore said. "Most of the kids understand. But it's OK. They're more mad at the Nets than they are at me." </div> Source
That kid, is one smart kid. I would feel so bad if I were Moore, but he did what was best. Lmao, best line "They told me if I turned down a lot of money, they were going to fight me,"
