Money isn't an issue for Moore

[NJNetz]

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"I want to stay here. As long as they want me here, I'll be here," said Moore, who went from reserve to starter to integral piece for the Nets, who last night failed to force a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference semifinals by losing Game 6, 88-72 to Cleveland in the Meadowlands. "I don't have any desires to mess up a good opportunity for me. If the whole team was intact, we would be one of the elite teams in the league.

"They have to make a decision, but I definitely would take (less than other offers) to stay around here," Moore said.

That`s the kind of player I like. A guy who prefers the game he loves over cash. Good for Mikki, and best of luck to him.

Who would't want to play with playmakers like Kidd and Carter?

The parentheses are where Journalists fill in what a player left out. For example if a playere is talking about returning to a team and he said:

I want to be here

a Journalist, for clarities sake would quote him as "I want to be (back) here". They're only allowed to do this on occassions where it doesn't change the meaning of the sentence since the person being quoted already implied the meaning.

In this case, the part in parentheses wasn't implied, and is merely the fabrication of the reporter quoting him. Take away the words in parentheses and you can see how it is not implied that he'll take less money.
