- buy out free agency nba
Not sure if they're actually upset at the system or more upset that a team formed and out-Lakered the Lakers. There's never been this much anger before at that LA team getting whatever they want, whenever they want it through trade, free agency, didn't matter
The system has always existed and benefitted nobody but title contenders, why are we having talks now
Not to mention, buy out names were rumored for how long? Cavs, Pistons could've easily said no to the buy out or someone else could've traded for those players and blocked Nets/Lakers from getting players.
Besides, I thought these dudes were washed...so what's the problem?

How about they start with not buying players out

Exactly. If teams didn't buy players out, there wouldn't be a problem. They want to buy a player out and be able to decide where he goes. There doesn't need to be any reform

You can't buy someone out and then tell them where they can and can't go.
Blake/Aldridge/Drummond were extremely available if someone wanted them.
Blake's contract was too much of an albatross, so I can understand why teams didn't want to trade for him. Now Aldridge and Drummond are a different story as teams could have given up the assets and contracts to match in the trade if they really wanted to do so. Dallas traded for JJ Redikk instead of taking the chance and waiting for him to be bought out. If you want a player bad enough, then you'll find a way to get him.

But then they get sent home and don’t play.
This is dumb. These players are more than available via trade. Too many people crying about Blake Griffin and LaMarcus Aldridge like they’re so damn valuable.
People getting mad at ring chasers ring chasing. shyts crazy
GMs need to do their jobs instead of stealing money. In the modern NBA the players do more recruiting and future planning than management.

Every single one of them was called bums or washed before they joined the team they joined too

They’re still bums. There’s better talent in the g league minus the big names.

The only problem is that now you got players so spoiled by buyouts that they are whining about being traded instead of bought out by their former teams and given their pick of destinations.
Case in point JJ Redikk and how he had to ensure the Mavericks that he would actually show up instead of sitting out since he didn't end up in Brooklyn. A player that you trade for is now giving demands about whether he wants to play for you or not
