I'll name this offseason thread later: The NBA 2019 Offseason/Free Agency Thread

How so? Seen this before and I don't understand. He got traded to a team he didn't want to play for, the org and fans knew what it was and at least got a ring out of it. Yeah without him Raps probably won't win another or if GS was healthy do they have this one, point is they got one which most the league can't say. Raps fans have been through worse, they'll be fine. It'll remain a success for years to come business wise.

Maybe if he did a neutral move like join the Clippers, what would be the point. Him going to the Lakers eclipses staying in Toronto, easily. For a sport that relies on headlines as much as they do, another super team picking up where the last one lost steam gotta be a dream for ESPN and advertisers. Add Silver bending space and time to get LeBron on TV earlier so east coast people can watch the Lakers and it's clear to me the business would be just fine if not more profitable.

People are tired of the same teams winning every year. We don't want another superteams ruining the competitive balance.

Is Trae the one picking? because no defense is playing Evan Turner like that

Two teams won 8 titles in the 80s. Every finals had one of those two teams in it the entire decade.

One team won 6 in the 90s.

Two teams won 6 in the 00s.

They agreed to the punitive luxury tax and the supermax

They don’t have any leverage

Neither of those things have anything to do with player movement. How are they going to limit player movement in the next CBA?

There's only two ways you can limit player movement :

- implementing a franchise tag concept
- abolishing free agency altogether

The players won't ever agree to either.
