sounds like a good move to steer his client away from Boston


He might be acting in the best interest of his client by doing this, but this is where the commissioner has to step in. This will create a bad precedent. You can't make a guy play somewhere he doesn't want to play, but if that guy is able to determine his only landing spot and thus eliminate any other offers, then he screws over the small market team that now can't get anything decent back for him.... If you finally hit in the draft, and get a guy that says "Nope" and then forces his way out and you can't get anything in return for him, whats the point in even playing? The game is rigged.

Eventually what will come down is AD and RP being told “accept the trade or take a suspension for conduct detrimental.”

And if the rules for the NBA are anything like other leagues, such a suspension could count against his years of service and mean longer until he can get a true max contract.
