I agree that RFA is unfair because it can lock a player in a situation they want out of.
I'm pretty much pro-player in almost every one of these types of arguments. I also have no issue with a player pleading like Batum and asking the team to let him go. But in the end, I side with the team using their rights to that process, and I get that the player may not be happy, but he should oblige, understanding the process. If the final year was just guaranteed, he'd have no say just like he doesn't have say as a RFA, unless I'm missing something here.

If a RFA wants out and signs an offer sheet that gets matched then they are forced to spend years in a place they wanted out of. The only options RFAs have are to sign a QA which sacrifices money or get an offer that won't be matched. I understand that the rule was made to help with parity and I actually am in favor of it but it can be seen as unfair.
