    Nice post/scoop. Surprised I haven't seen Quick/Freeman/Haynes post this yet.

    Anything else "official"?

    How does a player know whether Olshey pulled a bait & switch, and sneaked a lower number into the contract?

    The contract contains several numbers, and some players aren't numbers whizzes. The agent can't be present, because he has many clients in many cities signing simultaneously.

    Since that stumped the board, I'll guess. After the agreement (several days ago), the numbers (which fill in blanks in a standard NBA contract, common to all teams) are transmitted to the league office, which sends them to the agent for confirmation. Days later, tonight, the physical contract is signed, a copy is sent to the league office, which transmits a copy to the agent. Both league and agent compare the agreement numbers to the physical contract numbers, preventing a bait & switch. If the two versions disagree, the earlier/agreement numbers trump. This procedure is probably in the CBA.

    You lost all credibility for rule enforcement when you created a fake account.

    Besides, I think the rule book got rewritten yesterday when someone legally changed their screen name to A2M.

    Nice to see. But you'd think he could get someone to take a picture that was actually in focus...

    Maybe he caught you jerking off and decided you weren't a role model?

    I'm pretty sure she paid the $1000 rookie exemption thread starter fee to SPD just like I did.

    it's all right there in black (well, red) and white.

    think of me as a veteran free agent who just signed with the team here.
