Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama reveals real reason for taking cheaper contract

San Antonio Spurs young superstar Victor Wembanyama made a questionable move when he decided to take a five-year, $252 million deal instead of the full amount he could have received. It saved the Spurs around $50 million because he opted for the 25% max instead of the 30% supermax, according to The Athletic. Regardless, that's what Wembanyama decided to do, and people are very happy about that.These guys only have a limited time to be paid, and while $252 million is a ridiculous amount of money, I'll never fault somebody for going out and trying to get as much as they can. Wembanyama isn't that type of guy, however, and the Spurs will hopefully thank him for that one day by bringing him a championship.Speaking to reporters about that, he understands that in today's NBA, every dollar matter
