re: Kerr: Davis Trade Bad For League

He makes good points, but playing devils advocate, the players can say they get traded at a whims notice, so why is it a problem when the shoe is on the other foot?

Also, I feel as though the team that is about to lose the star would rather know before the contract is up if the player wants to resign or not (assuming the star has already made his mind up). So the trade request with a year and a half left in the contract isn't necessarily a bad thing for the team. The issue was with how things got leaked by AD's camp mid season and how those leaks hurt the team's prospects of where he could be sent out.

But still, I'd rather him tell us he wanted out when he did as opposed to playing through this year and just leaving.

It’s called a contract.
