re: Kerr: Davis Trade Bad For League

My spitballed idea for handling this is that a player who forcefully requests a trade can have his Bird rights terminated.

He can be traded anywhere he wants but whoever gets him better have the cap space to re-sign him when that contract expires.


I’m sure people will be able to poke holes in that one but the general idea is to make it that much harder for the player’s chosen destination to be able to keep them by putting them on a level playing field with other teams instead of giving them an advantage.
