JJ Barea signed a contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves for 4 years at 19 million dollars giving him 4.75 mil per year.
Barea had offers from New York - one for $5 million and two, the other for $9 million in three years. Primera Hora
Jose Juan Barea: "Honestly, (the decision) was not so difficult. It was my moment. I'm 27 and peaking and you have to take advantage of that. I would love to be with a contender, but this is a job and with this I guarantee the future of my family." Primera Hora
Knicks gave him the mini mid level at 2.5 mil per and then rose it to 3 mil per year for 3 years.
He would have most likely been the starter on a contending team with Fields, Melo, Amare, and his buddy from Dallas Tyson Chandler.
He turned down the opportunity to play in NYC with one of the best lineups in the NBA for the Timberwolves!?!?!
I know 4.75 mil per year is more than 3 but he won't be the starter for long with Ricky Rubio waiting so he just went for the big money and didn't care about the rings.
WOW...smh...i guess when you get one ring you don't care about them anymore.
