"If I'm going to get traded, they're going to tell me what's going on and where I'm going," the 14-year veteran said. "Because if I'm going to a (expletive) situation, I'm not going. It's just that simple."

In other words: he wouldn't come here. We would have to buy him out.

I don't blame him. He doesn't have a lot of time left in his career. I could see him in OKC.

No surprise there. I'm sure the Pels would either flip him again quickly or buy him out, more likely the latter option.

Not happening then. Then only reason you consider paying $10 million for a 1st is because he could play significant minutes. OTOH he has no leverage. If Marion's ruining Free Agency before it starts he's either going to play for the Pelicans or negotiate a cheap buyout/retire. If he retires he comes off the books and you got a pick for free.

Or how about he actually contributes and EG plays well and maybe this won't be a fricked up situation.

Old story from the deadline.

If Marion doesn't want to get traded to a bad team, he can opt out of his contract.

I'll erase since I can't really discuss my view from my phone.

Geaux Pelicans....

The NBA needs to give them no option. Either retire or sit out and not get paid. I'm sick of the Jim Jacksons of the world dictating where they will play or ask to be bought out so they can join a super team.
