I just posted about this on the general board. Contracts are a waste of time if players continue to simply ignore the terms they signed and demand trades whenever they want. If owners could decide in year 2 of a 4-year contract that they no longer desired to pay a player their agreed $40 million salary, there'd be a riot. Except, players are doing the same contract-busting move in reverse.
(I DEMAND a trade AND I demand it be to one of these 2 teams. Oh, and you can't ask for Player A, B, or C in the trade because I want them to be on my new team so I can go play with them)
Why bother signing contracts if players can simply void them whenever they want??
It’s not like they are restructuring their salary so it’s not the same. Players taking control of their destination and demanding a trade is no different then when GMs decide to trade a player whenever they want. Nobody says GMs don’t fulfill their end of the contract when the player is moved whenever front office feels like moving them so players demanding trades is fine
That's not the same thing and not how contracts work.
Players have complete control over their destination... as a free agent. They can choose to go play wherever they want while they're not under contract. The problem or "scheme" is when a player accepts a SuperMax payout from the team that drafted them (knowing good and well they have no desire to play there), then demand a trade a year later and take themselves and their max money where they really wanted to go all along. In essence, they sign the contract under false pretense.
The loophole is the fault of the league. They need to completely restructure things within the next CBA so that players don't have to "pretend" they are staying with a team just to get max money -- then force a trade later to where they would have gone in the first place if they could have also gotten the big payday.
Players can also take some responsibility and not throw a tantrum and threaten to become a locker room "cancer" unless they get their way and get traded where they want. Otherwise (again), contracts are not worth the paper they're written on.
