Honestly I wouldn’t care if we gave Payton to them for the 2 2nd rounders that will most likely convey. Reddish and Thybulle are much more interesting to me than GP2.
any of this renegotiation of picks exchanged is an admission of guilt. the team did nothing wrong. don't set that precedent.
None of this can be done. It is past the trade deadline so nothing can be exchanged anymore between teams. Either the Warriors accept the trade as they called it in or the entire thing is off.
It's in the CBA they can't make tiny or large exceptions... otherwise teams could be petitioning the league office day in and day out after the trade deadline for exceptions and effectively there would be no trade deadline. I don't really want to do the leg work but there are a few tweets in this thread that explain it from reporters. I think this fact is in most of the stories posted by legit sports news outlets too.
It's actually an official rule. Otherwise, NBA trades would be like closing on a home. You agree on a price, inspect the home, then try to get that price discounted by finding a small fault. That process would take weeks or longer, where you have players in limbo.
There is no provision made in the CBA for making trades or altering trades after the deadline... none. You simply cannot exchange assets in any way after the deadline. There's nothing to finesse. Maybe I'm misreading you and you're just saying the league would if they could but their hands are tied and they can't. If that's what you're saying that may very well be the case but it's very cut and dry.
Holy moly! I don't know how many times this needs to be posted but the trade cannot be amended in any way because it is after the trade deadline. The Warriors either accept it as is or it is off, completely off. This isn't an opinion of mine it's in almost every story about this situation.
I'm going to guess you'll need to say it a few more...
If you remember, and I do, Lillard had to be talked into getting the surgery.
Nah, you are correct. Plus, let's say the opposite was actually true. Would Dame have stuck with the franchise afterwards in a show of loyalty? I sincerely doubt it. It doesn't add up at all.
yup. and he was forced to sit out last year after he had tried playing with cortisone shots. same thing this year when the staff took overly conservative approaches with his calf strain to prevent Dame from hurting himself.
and same surgeon also did Dame/Nas' procedures and they seem fine.
Maybe if you learned more about it by paying attention to the details, you wouldn't think it was a cluster F. Without knowing the details, how could you possibly have any opinion?
