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.

Any agent that is willing to cost his client $13M by tanking his draft stock is not doing right by them.

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:

I'm going to guess that Ace is not willing to turn down $41M in favor of $0 over the next 4 years.

I think you misread my post.

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...

Where's the "Trade Down" option?

Steals + Blocks

Just take Ace at that point, **** it

I think the only way that works and allows him to be traded immediately instead of having to wait 6 months is if the extension is for raises that are less than 5% each season. Maybe that's still his best option if he doesn't care where he plays though.

Phoenix can't take him in a sign and trade if they're over the apron.

Wouldn't Randle have to opt in for this to be possible before December or January 15th?
