Adam Silver: League looking at remedies for players requesting trades early in their contract

[Paper Boi]

as I said in the other thread on this topic the other day, I don't think it's even in the front office interest for anything to change.

as things are now they are getting nice packages for these star players that set them up for a much better future than if a player just walks in 2-3 years. These trades also can be beneficial for smaller market teams that aren't likely to sign a big name in free agency, both in their ability to give up picks to get a star like Minnesota just did/or their ability to be set up for a rebuild since they're unlikely to retool through free agency.

Silver is saying that because he has to, but in reality I don't expect there to be much of a solution.

Ben Simmons is not a normal circumstance, dude is a coward, how many NBA stars are scared to shoot? you shouldn't be making rules based around him and KD trying to jump off a sinking ship after a year of Kyrie being erratic because the Nets did some dumb shyt and handed over the keys of their franchise.

It’s not really all that rare for a team to give someone a new contract and then trade them. I just gave you one example with Blake Griffin

That's not a common thing. It's hard to give someone a brand spanking new deal and then flip them immediately because in many instances that player turns out to be Julius Randle and it becomes an albatross of a deal. The other issue is base year compensation tends to make trades harder to pull off. We just see more transactions because deals are shorter. Even a 4 year max becomes a 3 year deal with an ETO which means a team only really has 1 year to use a player before he's at peak trade value.

You can negotiate a no trade or limited trade destination clause to.

According to the current rules most players aren’t eligible for a NTC

No-trade clauses are rare in the NBA, and they’ve become even rarer in recent years. To be eligible to negotiate a no-trade clause, a player must have at least eight years of NBA experience and four years with his current team. Even if a player qualifies, his team is unlikely to restrict its flexibility by including a no-trade clause in his deal.

That’s not accurate, players can’t demand a trade “publicly” there’s a fine for that … but private trade request are allowed

That's what I meant.

One example would constitute rare.

The Blazers just did the same with Norman Powell

Run your fukking teams better.

Adam Silver suggests it's time for financial incentives based on games played. He's not wrong.

I agree with this though.

Contracts need to be structured in a way that if you do a Ben Simmons, you don't get paid.

Washington just did it with Spencer Dinwiddie

Yea whenever ppl talk about owners gonna throw a fit in the next CBA, i always think to myself show me one owner who hates it and i'll show you one owner (the beneficiary) who loved it.

i.e. Brooklyn management was all for the dysfunction when it was Houston in shambles with Harden wanting to jump ship early.. and it ultimately worked out beautifully for Houston ironically. Now it's Brooklyn in shambles and apparently the Lakers turn to do the birdman at the window... after Washington did it to them lol. The game is the game.

OKC/LAC, UTA/MIN, whatever other examples... high risk / high reward fukkery for teams stuck in mud. It can be a get outta jail card for some GMs.

Too much money on the table for all of that. Grand scheme, this seems like a bigger deal than it actually is.

There's always a lot of money on the table, and there's been lockouts before. I think owners+Silver are fed up with the players, and I don't expect the players to budge either.
