No. That is why i still said however many picks. But it seems like it might have been possible to get him.
Ah, youngster--5 years behind me. Only person I knew from that class was my ex-girlfriend's little sister Jillian.
Those two, plus Ainge and Radford made for a fun HS tournament that year. If I recall correctly all 4 of their teams were undefeated going in.
LOL...yeah, because obviously the Nets place the same value on CJ as they did on Ingram....funny that they didn't ask for CJ instead of Ingram. Must have been a mistake
Again, i also said as many picks as it took and also included little…not sure how that equates to me saying CJ has the same value as Ingram?
the point being that while Ingram has the value to be a centerpiece of a Durant trade, CJ doesn't...so it wouldn't matter how many picks the Blazers were offering in fact, it's likely that Portland has better trade value in what CJ was essentially traded for in Grant and Hart, than CJ himself
I really hope KD doesn’t get his way as he probably will. Players have way to much say in where they play. I was listening to Sirius XM NBA radio the other day. I think it was Antonio Daniels? that brought up the idea of maybe penalizing the player(s) in some way that don’t fulfill their contract and try to push their way out. Maybe taking away a portion of their contract?
I’m sure the players union would throw a fit about it, but I do think that it hurts the game when so many players want to team up or dictate where they play when they’re not unrestricted free agents.
Breach of contract if they refuse to play for the team they signed with. Contract voided. Player gets penalized one year can't sign a new deal seems reasonable. But it wouldn't come to that. Faking an injury, being cancerous, that's all the player would have to do to force a trade.
It would have to be enforced on both sides. Something like a no-trade clause for both player and team. So if Durant signs a Max, it comes with a clause that he simply can't be traded even if the team wanted to. That's the only way it works. You can't tell the players that they can't dictate where they go but the teams can trade them whenever they want.
David Douglas. I used to live around the corner from where he grew up. @Wade Garrett should also know this.
It was David Douglas.. Lindsay Wagner, (The Bionic Woman) also went to DD.... I went to Centennial, but lived close to DD...As a kid, I could hear their Friday night football games.
