Baron Davis Made a Grown-Man Decision

When Baron Davis opted out of his $17.8 million contract, plenty of pundits ripped him. One opinion piece which stood out was a column headlined "Davis 29, going on 39, with maturity of 3-year-old" by Bob Padecky of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. Padecky writes: Davis is a 29-year-old man with a 39-year-old body and a 3-year old's conception of commitment. One minute he says he wants to stay with the Warriors. The next minute he wants to leave them. Stay. Go. Stay. Go. He is a toddler who can't make up his mind. Davis had two options: $17.8 million right now,....

The guy's just mad at Davis leaving. If he were put in the same situation (take $17M for a year or $65M for the next 5 years) he would have come to the same decision. Just sour grapes.
