this Deandre situation sets a horrible precedent, NBA needs to fix this

I disagree, verbal agreements are just that verbal. It's Dallas fault for not continuing to convince him. He should have the right to back out of a verbal agreement . The reason why their is a moratorium is because it allows teams to bid for RFA without losing out on UFAs

OK, but other teams potentially made moves because of Dallas /Clippers.

Should they just back out also?

What do you disagree with?

Their needs to be a moratorium so RFA can fairly get paid like everyone else. Without it no one would never go after them considering your capspace would be held up for days and lose out on UFAS

@Brozay the actual reason for the moratorium period is that teams used to circumvent july 1st to start FA signing. So its because they dont want teams start negotiating with players ahead, and have this full week that they're able to discuss TERMS of deals, not agreeing to anything. That's the rule.

It's not a verbal commitment or written.. they're allowed to discuss terms of contracts.

Also, they're figuring out the cap for the next season during the moratorium period.. so terms of deals cannot be fully guaranteed to anyway.. For instance, a max salary would be different based on what the cap is.. since it's a % of the cap.

the figuring the cap out reasoning is stupid. they could either expedite that process, or delay free agency by 1 week

the first point you made is just a reality you cant control regardless of how free agency is structured

On one hand I understand the position at the end of the day though if your making moves as a result of a verbal commitment there is always a chance the individual can reneg. Just the way it is, moral of the story don't make moves until you got something in writing.

Teams back out of contract negotiations all the time, the NBA is a business. I'm anyhing that is pro player fukk teams.

this is the best explanation i have receiver in regards to the need of a moratorium , thanks

but couldnt they just have a RFA signing period before an UFA signing period?

Essentially they could but that would also then be unfair to the teams who drafted the prospects. Every team would therefore have massive capspace and just throw max contracts at players with little to no repercussions. The rfa team would have no choice but to match. You'd essentially be overpaying all RFAs, system would be broke.

nah, that's not the reason. You cant sign offer sheets during the moratorium period.. Nothing can be signed or agreed to.

Offer sheets to RFAs will be ok to sign 9th of july, just like all other contracts.

they can only discuss terms of contracts, RFA or UFA. Doesnt matter.

Never said that WAS the reason, I'm explaining an additonal reason why it exist. Yes salary cap % is another reason. It's also to protect RFAs,not to mention the 3 day cap hold is a deterrence for teams as well. It's supposedly for year end audits​

If someone agrees to do something for me why would I continue to ask them to do it?
