When looking at it from the lens of value given up vs value received its pretty awful, but this trade also makes me more excited for next season. It confirms we won't be doing a repeat of the 2013-14 season where we give heavy minutes to veterans who aren't part of our future over our younger...
It was actually the third time.
Then you completely misunderstand why everybody here has a problem with his agent.
Nobody who has a problem with his agent is making the argument that he's doing exclusively what Ace himself wants him to do - the argument has always been that his agent has been...
You do not fully understand what I'm saying. I'm not speaking on the decision to identify WAS/NOP/BKN as best - I'm stating how I don't believe Ace told his agent "Get me to WAS/NOP/BKN no matter the amount of money it costs."
How can I put this simply.
If Ace said "I don't care about money...
It feels like you're having an extremely difficult time differentating between what my argument is not (It's all about the money), and what my argument is ($13M holds a lot of weight). I don't care that you keep stressing that $13M is irrelevant, because that's just straight up false.
Unless...
Maybe he's just good at acting, but Ace seemed pretty happy and excited when he got drafted, and during his interviews after. It's hard for me to reconcile that same person with somebody who'd ask his agent to tank his stock and cost him $13M to get him to Washington or New Orleans, but what do...
There's a dramatic difference between it not being "all about the money" (not my argument) and it being so not about the money at all that a $13M paycut is worth forcing yourself to a franchise like the Pelicans.
I'm just trying to figure out in what universe that's looking out for a client's...
There is literally zero history of an agent attempting to lose his client that amount of money through tanking his draft stock.
Mobley and Curry were brought up as other examples. With Mobley, it would've been a $3M paycut. With Curry, less than $1M.
There's a section in the CBA that specifically discusses players with contracts in other professional leagues and how the draft rights don't expire under those circumstnaces, but I don't think that's applicable to if a player just decided to sit out a year without playing anywhere else.
I looked up the actual CBA language and now I'm not sure.
When I copy/pasted it to ChatGPT and asked the question I got this answer:
But here's the actual language (Article X Section 4), and I think ChatGPT was wrong:
After a year, if the Jazz offer a Required Tender and he rejects it, they retain his rights for another year. At the end of that year, they can offer another Required Tender, and retain his rights for yet another year.
The Jazz can prevent him from re-entering the draft indefinitely by just...
