after that PG injury..they'd be crazy to do it. yea that type of injury is rare but have you ever driven without your license? you drive all cautious. thats how its gonna be when they sign that QO, they won't play like themselves.
How much do you dislike a situation?
If you're trying to get the hell outta somewhere, getting caught without your license is a price you're willing to pay.
The Franchise Tag in football = 1 year
Arbitration in baseball and hockey = 1 year agreement
the qualifying offer is as close as you'll get to that in basketball. The difference is, the QO in basketball, after it's over, you're free to go. In football and baseball, you may still be under team control anyway unless you either wrote it in your deal to avoid more tags or if your time of service ends arbitration.
