You can add another name to the "ring chasing veterans" list

[Lebron23]

The Robot has spoken!

I am just telling the truth a 10 year NBA veteran will have the same number of Finals MVP as a 17th year veteran.

Rent? n****s wit $$$ don't rent, they buy.

I don't know if you've heard, but it's illegal to buy people.

Rent? n****s wit $$$ don't rent, they buy.

If they buy that means they own. The life of a pimp aint easy.

[NumberSix]

I don't know if you've heard, but it's illegal to buy people.

It's somewhat possible that I wasn't being entirely sincere.

[Lebron23]

I rather have Chris Andersen right now. He has a better work ethic and better team player than Dumblambert.

[Doctor Rivers]

The Heat are gonna sign Bynum

[Bandito]

So teaming up with Dwight, Nash, Pau and asking for Phil to coach isn't ring chasing?

Not sure if serious or just a idiot.

Lakers with Kobe are Barely a playoffs team. The guy is obviously the dumbest poster in this forum. It's very difficult for a franchise player to sign with a small market team. A Prime Michael Redd turned down the opportunity to play in Cleveland.

LeBron will be a 2x NBA Finals MVP at the end of this season. He's officially going to surpass Kobe and Hakeem. Just enjoy the playoffs Kobetards.

You cannot be serious...


Also about the Lakers. Didn't you notice that the key players were missing or playing injured most of the year? Also they don't have good enough role players that can play the key player positions? This team is not stacked like the Heat bro.

[Mr. Incredible]

Do. Not. Want.

[Suguru101]

You guys reckon Pat Riley rents prostitutes for when free agents come down to Miami to consider signing there ?

[livingby3's]

Dem 2013's.... No shame. This moron had to be an alt account. I refuse to believe a person this dumb lives in the US.

Inb4 some poverty country like the Phillipines

so much for calling people dumb, when u made an even dumber statement

[tazb]

Kobe ring chased when he entered the NBA DRAFT . Telling people you won't play unless you're playing in one of the greatest franchises in NBA history.

[Big Cheese]

As a fan I would respect a player who would take less money to win/ring-chase then someone who is only looking for a big payday.

[wakencdukest]

Honestly, does anyone even care if some scrub like Dalembert chases a ring? He's never been significant or been a integral part of a team that came close, has he? Even if he got a ring, it wouldn't be because he contributed much.

[Goldrush25]

I just don't get the outrage with "ring chasing."

The alternative is what, getting the most money you can possibly get?

Is there any player that ever took less money to play for a non-contender? Probably not.


That's usually what free agents do. Either take the most money that's offered, or take less to be in a better situation to win a title. So, to a cynic, every free agent is either greedy or is a "ring chaser."

Free agents either prioritize money or winning. Simple as that.
