If players are truly so passionate about winning, they should not have signed enormous max deals to begin with. If these players are so desperate to win, they shoulda signed a deal for less money so his team could buy him help! Or at least a deal for less years so he could have the option to opt out and sign a new contract if his team's situation isn't good! I'm tired of hearing these players complain. If you're signing a contract that's taking up 25% of your team's salary, then you should be prepared to deal with bearing the burden of carrying that team by yourself for as many years as you sign on for. Joe Johnson should be prepared to provide 1/3 of his team's offense and defense. If he can't he shouldn't have signed that deal, not he should demand a trade in 2 years. Have some sense people. I'm not going to sign a contract teaching in some awful school for $1,000,000 per year, then demand to be traded to a nice private school and be paid the same salary. You get what you sign up for.
Chris Paul, if you can't carry a team by yourself and provide 25% of your team's offense and defense, then don't sign for max money. You've got a very good PF on your team with you. You've got a wing who was the key 6th man for a championship team 2 years back. You've got a C who is overpaid but has averaged a double double over his career. You've got another wing who used to be a stud, and is on the decline, but can still shoot 3's and his contract is up this season so you can get another player. If you can't deal with that, then you shouldn't sign for max money.
