Willie Cauley-Stein was offered a $9 million contract with the Charlotte Hornets this offseason but instead signed a two-year, $4.6 million deal with the Golden State Warriors, according to Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Even though the deal he signed was barely more than the league minimum, he "opted instead for the chance to start for a winning franchise."
His decision to take less money was an interesting one considering his mindset when seeking an extension with the Sacramento Kings.
"I'm ready to get paid," Cauley-Stein said last September, per James Ham of NBC Sports.
