Pretty self explanatory. I'm wondering how you guys would vote.

Overpaid on a losing team for a good 6 years. Then underpaid for another 6 years and win some hardware.

Until I’m set for life, give me the money.

Then, I’ll balance winning versus other factors.

I’m not sure what underpaid would be, but either way I’m making millions of dollars a year. I’d rather win.

If underpaid is the difference between 90million and 150 million,
Underpaid will do

2) Money (sometimes brings basketball security with it)

Honestly being from New England this isn't the easiest concept for me.  I get that this happens in other places.

Limited earnings potential - capitalize while you can.

Depends on old I am. 

Am I a young pup or a seasoned veteran?

As others have said it all depends on age and skill. I'd I'm one of the best in the world and I make a ton of money off endorsements then I'd possibly take a pay cut to win. Possibly.
But If I'm a young guy then more then likely I'd take the money. When I get older I'd ring chase with a pay cut.

If I wanna make money, then I'll make money while losing games lol.
If I'm content with my money, I'll take less money and win championships.

But being an NBA player makes at the very least six figures so I'm cool with winning or losing lol.
