I hope so. I've been pushing for it to happen, especially when these guys want out or more control over their future.

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.

Chris Bosh being some type of defensive guru is one of the biggest fabrications in basketball
Bruh is a terrible post defender who get whipped by anyone with a semblance of a post game. His P&R defense is slightly overrated to a degree considering he's not a elite rebounder. His usefulness in P&R coverage only became highlighted when the Heat went small with Battier at the 4 and switched to their small, trapping, blitzing/swarming style. When previous 'big 3' Heat teams were engaged and active that's when the effectiveness of his coverage while playing small came to light
You do realize that him blitzing pick and rolls is part of the reason his rebounding suffered. That defense usually would take him away from the basket and out of rebounding range on a lot of plays. Bosh being such a beast against the pick and roll is the only reason they were able to play that blitzing style of defense because with him being so long he took away the passing lane to the roller and he was quick enough to prevent the point guard from turning the corner. He'd basically blow up the play and force the other team to reset their offense. There's a reason the Spurs did the best against Miami's defense cause they started bringing up an outlet to get the ball out of the man Bosh blitzed and then finished the play from there. Bosh doesn't like to bang inside and isn't a great post up defender as a result but you tripping about his P&R defense.

I've been saying forever that players should do this. I understand the concern about getting injured and fukking up that first big contract. But if you're a borderline all-star or better and not a head case chances are even if you get hurt the money will still be there for you a year into the future plus like Tre was saying you have way more control over your future.
Billups to the Cavs maybe http://www.detroitbadboys.com/2014/8/6/5974741/nba-rumors-cavs-chauncey-billups-cleveland-cavaliers
Chauncey is washed up at this point, doubt he'll have much of any impact if any at all.
Breh, he has alien hands. There's a thread about him somewhere on here where I made a fool of myself, but his hands are freakish.
Kawhi's hands compared to Bron's

Smooth sailing from here on out...
Hit the offseason wall & just started looking up random highlight videos.

Bron trying to go back to his old Cavs days when he was less bulky
he can lose all the weight he wants, he has truly lost a step
when is the last time you seen him in a half court set drive to the basket without getting a pick
