They have exorbitant ticket/concession prices and 10+ home playoff games each year. They can afford the tax. I understand being comfortable in a situation, but 50 million to KT is an incredible buffer. For Lacob and his buddies, it is a good, (or bad) week in the market. I think it is foolish.
Eh, I understand it. Think about it: what can you do with $150 million that you can't do with $100 million? Not to mention the fact that he is already in the middle of a $70 million deal, so it's not like the dude is in need of cash.
Klay obviously likes it in Golden State. He's comfortable there. I'll use myself as an example. I was born in New Jersey and have lived here my entire life. Most of my immediate family is here. If a company in New Jersey offered me $100 million and a company in Florida or California offered me $150 million, I would take the $100 million offer.
Sometimes, it's not all about the money. Remember: KG left money on the table to stay here. As a matter of fact, the dude didn't even test free agency. The Spurs' players left money on the table countless times.
Yeah, this sucks for us Celtics fans because it means the Warriors will be keeping the band together for a few extra years, but I'm not gonna lambaste a guy for choosing comfort over some extra dough. Again, $100 million is still nothing to sneeze at.
