Last season Ware was many peoples' MVP. Certainly the best guard in the competition.
So obviously he would want less money than Cotton and Trimble.
He won a Championship with United, made it to another GF, and with their projected off-season recruiting his team was going to start favourite again.
So naturally he was prepared to take a pay-cut in order to leave.
He once had a couple on 10-day contracts with a team at which Weaver was the video coordinator, so since then he has dedicated his life to following Weaver.
Contrary to popular misconception, he did not leave United because Sydney offered more money. He left because Melbourne didn't offer him enough.
There's a big difference, apparently.
United don't like winning championships, so they low-balled him, and were happy to see him leave.
Then they lied about it, and went and paid more money to Hire Trimble.
Like most people, Casper loves dickheads with big egos, who put their own amusement ahead their team. Hence he was so honoured to work with Bogut, that hes basically playing for free.
