Surprised he went for a deal that long but he’s young enough that he can still get another pay day. It seems like some guys don’t know where the CBA is going and are fine with taking a little less to get some security. Because he was the perfect candidate to get $400+ 6 years from now.
Marginal value of money, a certain $100M is worth far more than a shot at $400M.
I mean once you have $60M after taxes and agent fees, how much more do you conceivably need?
Even at 4% interest, that's $2.4M a year before endorsement income.
Yes, you can blow through it if you're an idiot, but any "real" person doesn't need a 20 bedroom mansion or more than 2 or 3 houses in destination cities (i.e. where you play, where you live, where you vacation regularly). And how many cars can you drive?
