People in general don't like to admit they want the most money but in his case he did. At that time he could get max money and an extra year. He was not going to give that up under any circumstances.
I got the same vibes from JJ Redick's podcast when he was going on about how he went to New Orleans because he really wanted to play next to a defensive specialist like Jrue and how amazing the city is and blah, blah, blah.
I'm like ... dude, come on.. you wanted to go to New Orleans because they offered you 2 years and 26.5 million. The nice thing about going for the money is it's always easy to build up a narrative about how it wasn't about the money.
