Jackie MacMullan said NBA players are property

[BaggerofTea]

There’s some folks in that Kyrie thread who damn near be saying the same thing.

“You signed the contract, you gotta do what them white folks tell you to do and don’t complain because look at how much they pay you boy”

That show it works for everyone else


Holy fukk, the beat writer is an idiot but the amount of numbnuts who cape for Kyrie lets me know most of yall havent held a steady job

Boston hacks have such a vested and perverted interest in Kyrie that local New York beat writers dont even have for him.

It's crazy how white Celtics media hold grudges against every player that doesn't bow down to the Clover or perform up to their expectations.

Well they are both wrong. Being drafted doesn't make you property. Property doesn't have a say in anything. When you choose to enter the draft, you choose to deal with that set up. You can stop whenever you want and you are able to move around and yes...you are compensated handsomely. I do agree that there shouldn't be a draft though.

I know nikkas bout to go in on Jackie but I see dudes on here all the time echoing her sentiments. If you say it's a problem for players to team up but it's okay for teams to bring them together then you are saying the same thing. If you say it's problematic for players to sign deals and then demand trades but then say it's the owners prerogative to trade players as they see fit, you are saying the same thing. Any time you pine for the good old days and call for restrictions on players you are echoing what she's saying.

They expected a ring from Kyrie after he left Cleveland and he acted like they didn't deserve to speak to him when he got there

That's how I interpreted it, basically they control your future as long as you're under contract.

It's an Irish ting. They pass on grudges thru the generations.

 

[feelosofer]

I have a lot respect for Jackie as a writer but that was tone deaf at best.

 

[Stone]

And at the end of the day if it’s such a big problem they can just trade him. But they’re not going to because KD is there. This is what the Nets signed up for as well.

 

[Damnshow]

East coast cacs are the worst. MacMullan this, McArthur that. They think everything belongs to them, they smile in your face but eventually show their true colors. Funnily, these east coast writers are one of big reasons why east coast NBA teams barely win championships these days.

Unfortunately the fact that teams can trade players and the players have no say and/or prior knowledge to where they end up, unless they have a clause in their contract, makes them property.

NBA players are employees of the NBA, not property. The players union has a collective bargaining agreement with the NBA. In what world does that make players the property of the owners of these teams? You are trying to tell me that unless a player has a no trade clause, he is a property of another man. The fukk? The players have already had their say about being able to be traded to another team in the league. They agreed to the shyt in their contracts and in the collective bargaining agreement. They agree that they can be traded to any of the teams if terms of their contract allows. The collective bargaining agreement also doesn’t allow the NBA to alter their contract once they are traded. The terms must be honored by the other team. These men are business men making individual deals under the collective bargaining agreement, not property
