Qualifying Offers. 

Post#1 » by diesel50 » Mon Jul 14, 2008 8:02 pm

If a rookie signs a qualifying offer, does that mean that he automatically get a no trade clause?

a rookie can't sign a Qualifying Offer... rookies are issued Required Tenders, which basically ensures that a team keeps the rights to their draft pick (i.e. if 1st round draft picks aren't issued required tenders by july 16, they become Rookie Free Agents).

The "no-trade clause" you're referring to happens when a player is signed to a 1 year contract (not including option years) and he would be an Early Bird or Larry Bird Free Agent after that 1 year. A Qualifying Offer would fit the 1 year contract bill (but Rookies are never issued QO's). A player must consent to a trade in that scenario, and if he consents, he loses the Bird Rights he would have had at the end of the year

If a player has finished 4 years on his 1st round rookie contract and signs a QO for yr 5 ...

Or if he has finished 2 or 3 years as a non-1st-rounder and signs a QO for the next year ...

...then yes he cannot be traded without his permission during that year, and he loses Bird rights if he accepts such a trade.

Technically there is NOT a "no trade" clause in his contract under those circumstances, but the effect is about the same.

I meant a player on his rookie contract and not a rookie. However, thanks for the info.
