My theory is that it is in place to prevent teams from pulling some sort of mind fukk on a guy and getting him to sign on the spot. This way he has a week to discuss it with his people and even back out and other teams have a chance to put their bid in. Honestly, if a team goes forward like it's a done deal that's on them. Cuban didn't make his billions being a boy scout and I am sure he's done others way dirtier.
The rule is in place for salary cap reasons. I don't think because this happened with Deandre that you need to now change the entire rule about the moratorium. Y'all are so over reactionary sometimes![]()
Engaging in a discussion = mad?![]()

Nobody needs to be doing anyone dirty though, that's kinda my point. League could easily fix this
How you gonna say it's on a team for going forward thinking they have someone signed but then say on the other hand say the players need a week to think about the commitment they just made.
So it's on a team for moving forward thinking they have someone locked up, but it's not on a player for committing to a deal? Doesn't add up
Ya'll cant relate everything in the sports world to some office gigSo... haven't u made verbal agreements about joining a company and a few weeks later u take another job offer and it's the job u really wanted...
It's Dallas fault.... same as Phoenix when they made all those trades for LMA

The whole point is you can take a week to mull offers without making a verbal commitment. OP is right its a horrible precedent and should be addressed immediately.
