You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

Besides most of these trade demands happen on the back side of the contract because the player has the advantage. Team would have the upper hand at the begging of a contract.

Lol. Korver isn’t Kemba. Davis wasn’t traded by the way and there’s no point in giving into trade demands right after signing a five year deal. Don’t think a player has ever signed a deal then turned around asking for a trade. AK, back in the day asked to be traded which never happened. If I were the owner or gm of a team and my star player asked for a trade right after he signed a big contract, my reply would be good luck with that. That’s basically what the pels said to Davis this past year and refuse to trade him to the lakers. If Kemba signs a five year supermax and then in the middle of the coming year says he wants out, that’s a bitch move and he will be treated like one by his team just like Davies was. Then Kemba will be forced to toil on that team for at least two three years. Book it!!

Your examples don't make any sense. And it would.be in the Hornets interest to do that as oppose to lose him for nothing.

Also, these are relationships. Chill out on your rhetoric that suggests players are strictly property.

I had this nightmare that Jazzfanz was debating Love vs Nic Batum.

Can you imagine?

Good post.
However, if batum came with a good promising young player and some draft picks it wouldnt be the worst thing in the world.

It’s a downward spiral. Two years ago we were looking ahead to this off-season and debating Kawhi, Jimmy Butler, and Klay Thompson. Then we were debating Malcolm Brogdon and Tobias Harris. Now Kevin Love and Nic Batum. Come July, we’ll have passed through a few more iterations and it will get much, much worse.

Never said they should lose him for nothing, being in year one of a 5 year contract, there’s no need to trade him right away. My point is you don’t sign a 5 year deal with a team to turn around and demand a trade. That’s a bitch move, and he’d be treated by the org and fans as such much like Davis this last year. These are all reasons Kemba won’t sign with the Hornets. It just makes no sense for either side.

What? It's in both their interest, especially if he gets traded.

Of course they would trade him, just not right away. He’s on a five year deal in this scenario, why would they trade him right away? Pels didn’t give in to Davis’s demands as of yet.

Why do you keep bringing up the Pelicans? Is he on the Pelicans? What about the scenarios are comparable to you beyond the most elementary?

The reason they do it is because Walker would almost certainly have more trade value earlier in the contract. You wait too long and that becomes an incredibly negative contract, one that they'd probably have to SEND assets to get rid of. Meanwhile, both parties have locked themselves into a perpetual losing situation.

I'm out.

Exactly.

It never ceases to amaze me how people can't understand context. We are only talking Batum because we are running through "missing out on all big free agent scenarios."

I would rather take Batum and pick up assets than just absorb Love's stupid deal.

Ironically, I think Charlotte should trade for Love if Kemba stays. Expirings for Love seems fair. Charlotte prays Love has a revival and Kemba can keep playing at an All NBA pace.
