And they've constantly proven him right with how they've mishandled him over the past four years.
They clearly don't value him but yet they also want the moon for him. It makes no sense. The Suns or Kings would at least be a fresh start with a guaranteed bigger role.
The amount of control these teams have over a player's young career is kinda messed up if you think about it. At least in football it's a bit easier to move on to a different situation if necessary
The NBA makes it really hard for players to accept the QO because you lose bird rights. If he takes the QA, his only path is UFA and UFA won't be a good time for him given who is projected to have money...
lol their offer already erases his bird rights and they want him to rescind the no-trade included in that.
again, given all the options he wants freedom and a fresh start, not necessarily up-front money.
Damn, I had no idea they were trying to make the 2nd a year an option year. This is pretty bad. I agree with you btw, I hate RFA.
