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

[PortCityProphet]

You're still in here thinking this thread is about Deandre, forget it

DeAndre the whole reason this is even an issue to you.
If another team came out and offered Bismack Biyimbo $100milli today and he said shyt fukk this verbal agreement with the raptors i'm bout to go get paid. no one would give a shyt .

 

[tru_m.a.c]

y'all out here bytchin about moving the date up, but that still wouldn't have changed this situation

Deandre called Doc and expressed his feelings BECAUSE he had time to think it over. Change the date to july 1st, and he STILL calls Doc BEFORE signing his contract.

Morons.

Deandre never wanted to leave.

I cant even begin with some of y'all

 

[Max.]

Tough break nikka

 

[El Bombi]

He saved us from giving the Max to an overrated player.

Mark Cuban should've learned from the other lame Houston nikka Rashard Lewis.

Rashard Lewis did the same thing 10 years ago.

cause you know it wouldn't affect 99.99% of FA signings every in NBA history

Didn't Frank Gore just do this or am I imagining things?

Of course it means more with higher quality players

It being Deandre is of little consequence

What's to stop teams/players from deliberately fukking over rivals now?

My point is why even allow this loophole? You haven't addressed the core point of this thread once

What loophole? Players have time to talk to teams. Teams have time to talk to players. Ain't no loophole. They have the period for a reason and people have a right to change their mind.

Whats the reason they have it then? What's the point of not just allowing players to sign contracts when they are ready? Why force everyone to do handshake deals instead of the real thing?

Loophole wasn't the right way to put it, dumbass rule is

and to a blind man to add insult to injury

I love when Bomani always refers to Gordon Gund as "that blind dude"

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

nba should end its fiscal calendar the day the finals are over. standard rules apply until then as they would during the season.

Each season, the NBA will have a moratorium period in which teams may hold negotiations but cannot sign contracts. It is during this time period that the NBA and NBPA conducts an audit that assists in the determination of the new Salary Cap figure for the following season which will be in effect on the date following the day the moratorium is lifted.

Giving teams and players time to meet while they work on the cap is my guess
