Has front offices panicking too, I’m sure
Another reason this probably won’t get done

Demanding a trade generally isn't tampering. I don't think there's any rule against using that as leverage.

Key word: Should. I am hoping the owners are willing to have a lockout for tougher protections against this kind of behavior. It's wrong. If you sign a contract you honor it. You don't undermine it or threaten or force a trade because you 'want more money now or too bad' - that's why he'll get to be a free agent who can choose wherever he likes. But not before.
At least Kawhi didn't do us dirty like this...

If buddy Hield is looking for a near max contract I'd wonder what kind of team would be willing to trade much for him. Bit of a catch 22.
I dont' know what catch 22 means.

Murray last year:
18/4/5 on 54 TS%, 0.1 BPM and 1.3 VORP
Buddy last year:
20/5/2 on 58 TS%, 1.1 BPM and 2.1 VORP
Hield was taken 1 pick before Murray and you know him and his agent knows the stats from last year. I have a hard time seeing him accepting anything short of the max. And sorry he just isn't a max player. If he has made it known to Vlade that he only wants the max, Im moving him if Im Divac.
Murray is 22, Hield is like 29
buddy's 26 man thats mean lol
