Professional athletes probably take that to the utmost extreme since their pay window is so short and open to ending at any moment.
Agree generally, but if it wasn't a factor, D-Will probably would have already finished deciding. I think it's pretty clear at this point--from the reports that he's been waffling back and forth on his decision--that he genuinely does want to win and has been at least somewhat moved by the Mavs' position that it could be very difficult to compete for titles in Brooklyn due to their cap usage.

How much it's moved him...that remains to be seen.
