Warriors guard Dennis Schröder compares trade deadline to ‘modern slavery'

“It’s like modern slavery,” Schröder said. “It’s modern slavery at the end of the day. Everybody can decide where you’re going, even if you have a contract. Yeah, of course, we make a lot of money and we can feed our families, but at the end of the day if they say, ‘You’re not coming to work tomorrow, you’re going over there,’ they can decide that. They got to change that a little bit. “But still grateful that we’re here and that we can live this every single day. I think everybody who’s in here is blessed. But if you really think about it, it is kind of crazy that the organization can tell you, ‘We want you to be team-first, but you’re going over there.’ It’s a lot.”
Man, between America electing the new Hitler as President and the NBA and NFL treating athletes as slaves, I'm suprised anyone still wants to live in this rotten country!

Anxious to see which one of our board's notorious contrarians will say "he has a point..." and then argue about it for 6 pages

He has a point if you really think about it.

Yeah, that's in the contract that you signed, Big Dawg

I would imagine trades are described in his contract. Maybe he should have had his agent prioritize a no-trade clause over some of the extra money he got.

If he doesn't like it, he can lobby his union to change the way these things are handled in the next CBA. Until then, he can acknowledge that he knew these were the rules when he decided to play and shut his fricking mouth.

Modern Slavery is tough.....

Yes bc they are owned by the team.
It’s a dumb comparison, but they do have owners that control them & their contracts

Well that will definitely generate clicks…probably won’t do anything to turn around the NBA’s tanking ratings, but it will generate some clicks.

It’s genuinely amazing someone thought this out in their head and then still uttered it publicly.

Listen, if you really have to have someone explain to you why a Black multimillionaire being traded to a different team and city is nearly identical to an African being stolen from their homeland and family, and shipped across the Atlantic Ocean into a foreign country to provide forced free manual labor then wow. You really need to check your privilege.

I was so triggered, I was shaking furiously and mistakenly had the wrong ocean posted for approximately 30 seconds before remedying my mistake.

Only two players in the NBA have no-trade clauses. Lebron and, inexplicably, Bradley Beal. And EVERYONE in the NBA thinks its ridiculous the Wizards gave Beal that clause.
But can you really blame Schroder for having such a dumb opinion? He's an employee in a league that expressly stopped referring to the team owners as "owners" and now calls them "governors", because a few morons said the term owner connotates "slavery"...a practice that was abolished 150+ years ago. A practice where the workers were forced into labor rather than being paid more per year than 99% of Americans will earn possibly in their entire lifetimes. There are millions upon millions of people who would gladly be "owned" by the NBA "governors". Myself included!
