It's a two year team option after year two
Not sure what you’re referring to but AD’s rookie extension is 4+1. Could he have used the QO as leverage to get a shorter extension, like 3 years or 3+1? I thought Winslow signed a 3 year extension this summer.

Hell he can just look at Lebron, who has left a bunch of money on the table to stick to short term deals so he’s never stuck in a bad situation again

And if AD did have that Boogie injury, Lebron would boogie his way out of LA in a second ?

I thought you where talking about his initial rookie deal for some dumb reason
Yes, he could have taken a lesser deal or the QO. It's rare though. Almost all take the best deal they can get. I can only think of nerlens noel....and we all know how that turned out

noe y'all are in lock step that Anthony Davis sabotaged the Pelicans season.
I'm not, but i'm glad you think a poster or two constitutes the entire opinion of a fan base dumbass.

Just saying flexibility didn’t become a priority magically until mid season this year. I don’t think most neutral fans like myself blame him for forcing his way out either, it’s the blatant tampering and trying to force his way to one franchise. The quality of a team’s front office is mattering less and less in the NBA IMO

He deserves to go where he wants
Until then, the Pels deserve to send him where they see fit.

I agree. And he waddled in Cleveland for that long and after that he told himself he would never shackle himself to a situation like that again, and left money on the table to make sure he never did.

Sure, but if the Lakers are paying a 50 percent AD the max, it puts a huge limit on what moves the Lakers and lebron can make to be contenders.

I dont think he receives the majority of the backlash had he requested the trade at the end of the season or when the Pels were officially eliminated from playoff contention.
Instead he and Rich Paul go for a power play ten days before the deadline to try and strongarm the Pels into trading him to the Lakers. 7 years of goodwill gone.
And for the record, I have no problem with him wanting out and requesting a trade. He just went about it the completely wrong way.

And I agree. We should not be promoting what AD and lebron are doing
They are going above and beyond, 100%. I am just personally more sympathetic to players who have no control over who drafts them, and are then told that if they want to grab further control or their career decisions, they need to make monumental and insane personal/professional risk
There should be somewhere in between outright tampering, like what lebron and AD are doing, and giving players a more realistic grasp of their career

they'd rather call the best player in franchise hiatory a bitch.
I don't understand why the NBA has little fan boys like you that run to protect the players at all cost. If this was another sport, every one would be saying how he sold his team out and did them wrong.

So you're from Orange County, CA? I'll at least admit to my bias.
But yes, that is exactly what happened. Tell me it's not even plausible.

I’m all for players using their leverage and doing what’s best for them and their careers
But for one, NBA players have more control over their careers that any league out there, they also have the most player friendly CBA ever created, and they have the largest ability to make off the court money outside of their contract based on their visibility than any other sports league there is
Simply put, they have pretty much everything. At some point there has to be a benefit to the teams as well. The Pelicans are the ones who are paying that enormous salary that he signed up for. What they are paying for is not just what he is on the floor, but also the control of his career for the next X amount of years.
Otherwise, you might as well fold up any small market team because they have no real shot at keeping talent for longer than their rookie deal. The entire point of the max deal was to incentivize the talented players to stick with the teams that drafted with them. But it doesn’t force the players to do that. They choose stability over control.

Not really when there is this thing called restricted free agency

quote:and what exactly does that do for someone coming off their rookie deal? they are being told a) you can take a QO offer and have a one year deal with a fraction of a salary and hope you dont have a down year or destroy your achilies, or b) take this life altering contract right now that is fully guranteed

the NBA is better to its players than both the NFL and major league baseball. no question. no debate at all. it doesnt mean that its perfect
quote:im simply saying, we should start to look at how we handle the second contract situation. i would love to see either a longer rookie deal, somewhere around 6 years, that has more team opt ins. or even something like a 6 year deal that a player can opt out of but then automatically be forced into restricted free agency. idk
At some point there has to be a benefit to the teams as well.
quote:as almost every single person does/would do. still doesnt mean i dont see where some of the players are coming from when they are being tied to those teams with no real say other than "take a huge personal risk if you dont like it"
They choose stability over control

Can't blame him for wanting out of NO. Most overrated city in the US. The food hype is just laughable.
