DM on AD

Didnt read all the pages.

I laugh at the players who can't figure out why fans boo players that leave and I laugh at them for not understanding that having 30 energized and competing fan bases and front offices is better for all the players. They take for granted the fans will keep coming back. The NBAPU was even so foolish to think fewer NBA teams would be better. Lebron thinks that is. Imo the trouble with the NBA starts and ends with the agents/players who control the NBAPU who are only looking out for the top 5% of players.

At what point do 25 fan bases have no reason to engage with the NBA? It’s hard to be invested in a player/league that’s not invested in you as a customer and fan.

It doesn’t matter if I’m one of the 10 best people. The NBA and team owners are the employer. My employer sets my rules, I don’t set there’s.

I have trouble with any position that treats the owners as the authority figure. The players make the NBA. If the owner all switched franchises, very few fans would notice or care.

The NBA has a player's agreement because the players have power, as well as the owners.

Now that i read a few posts...

I can see a scenario where 6-10 teams leave the NBA or Lebron Chris Paul and .Rich Paul start their own super league for the best players. Shorter schedule, more pay per view games, take on a global tour. All star or Olympic like exhibition.

But nba won't stop existing . just pushed down to second level like the European leagues are now. It wont hurt my jazz fandhood one bit.

He willingly signed the contract to play for the Pelicans for a given amount of time and PUBLICLY demanded a trade to a given destination long before that contract was set to expire. It’s bad business in my opinion. Again my original message to start this was more in regards to DM comparing it to a normal job, it simply is not and it’s a ****** comparison.

The team can trade the contract they agreed to pay him. He can request to be traded. What are you on about with your lopsided support for management?

Um, you’re the one who continues to say you didn’t say things you did. You did in fact say that all 30 teams are on equal footing. That’s exactly what you said.

1/30 vote. Understand context.

Anyone who thinks the Jazz won’t be part of the NBA in 10 years is fear mongering and not worth engaging in conversation.

We could have gotten a first and a prospect if we took back horrendous salary. Remember, Haywood's only really good year was his last year with us. The previous year he was 19.7, 5, and 3.7 shooting 45%,/36%/82%. There are other places you can get that production without giving a first and a good prospect.

Dumb post.

Did the Pelicans live up to the assurances they made when they signed the contract with Davis, or did they fall short? If you don't know, then for all you know Davis was completely justified in his demand.

What were the assurances?

Actually he can’t publicly request a trade which is why he was fined, and yes when you CHOOSE to sign your contract that trade part is in there and oh agree to it by CHOOSING to sign the contract.

Were those assurances in the form of a signed contract? What’s in writing and has a signed name to it is what is relevant or matters.

I assume the checks have all cleared so yes...

This could happen. If you don’t like what the NBA brings to the table, or the contract requirements they have, start your own league/business, but the NBA is the NBA and it isn’t owned by the players, they are employees of the league.
