KOC's Method of Negotiation

Ok, we need to move on, or I do, about not signing Matthews.

However, I think it's time to question KOC's method of "negotiation," in letting the market decide. As one poster put it, and I think it might've been on another site, it leaves the small market teams at the mercy of the larger market teams with more money.

Isn't it better to negotiate with the players you want, to assure them you want them back, and isn't it human nature that guys will take less to stay with the team they like and are comfortable playing for, and who they are going to get guaranteed playing time because they know their role and they fit well? So, you lock them up with a fair offer and don't worry about getting raped by other teams.

It's happened two years in a row now with Portland. Is KOC going to learn his lesson or continue being a weasel?

Bargaining in good faith worked for many years with Stockton. Don't see why it can't work again.

Stockton is the most underpaid player in the history of the NBA. That's why it won't work.

If Portland is intent on blowing their money for our borderline starters, perhaps the Jazz need to make a preliminary offer. Otherwise, they did exactly what they should've.
 
I wasn't happy when my mother took my Teddy Bear away, either. There was no negotiation on the matter. She just took it, and it wasn't fair. But guess what? I got another one. It was hard to get used to, sure. But I got over it and wound up liking it pretty much the same.

So, it's your nature to stay at your job for a decent raise and decline an offer from a competitor whose offer blows your current employer and their new compensation offer out of the water, and you'd be doing the same job?
 
You guys are so thick. You don't get the point. There's a chance we lost in this matter, if Matthews develops into a great player. Apparently, Portland is very high on him. I still say a good GM who knows how to negotiate could've gotten Matthews for a lot less. Matthews himself has admitted this. KOC is just good at covering his ineptitude.

That's not his position. His position is that he would rather have been suckered into getting the decent raise without ever knowing he could have doubled it elsewhere by an employer who was negotiating in 'good faith.'
