I love more money, but Patrick Beverley Jersey as far as being smart and educated on this team, knowing that you gotta pay Pat (Mahomes), you gotta pay Chris (Jones), you got a lot of guys you gotta pay. For me to take a contract like I did was a ble sing."Really just showing Tobias Harris Jersey the world it's not all about money. This is my happy place. Why not take a smaller contract and come out and play with the guys I've been playing with?"

"He does so many things well obviously he catches the ball well; he scores for us; he makes a lot of plays after contact. "But also as far as blocking or running the routes hard and getting the other guys open. In Chris Paul Jersey this offense, it takes every single person. And I think you saw that when in the playoffs and his number got called, he made big plays happen. It's a guy we love having back."
