That is the byproduct of the objective the Porter's are seeking, which is having a good basketball playing career.

If either or both of them accumulate $4million in earning and have a similar experience to Teague I'm sure they would consider that a disaster, and I would certainly feel badly for them.

Teague is in a similar position as the Porter's in that his family is already well off and his brother is already an NBA player, so simply obtaining wealth to satisfy your hangerons isn't really the driving force that causes many of these players to leave too early.
