NBA Stars Are TRICKING Their Own Teams...

- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- Over the past decade, NBA free agency has become the biggest and most EXCITING part of the offseason… going back the multiple LeBron decisions, KD going to the Warriors, and the INSANE summer of 2019… free agency was the main tool used by teams and players to completely change the landscape of the league overnight.
But that isn’t really the case anymore. We are entering a NEW era in the NBA… and if you weren’t paying close attention, you might not have noticed it at all… one where stars making moves in free agency hasn’t actually happened in YEARS.
And the reason for that of course… is money.

I feel like you made this video a couple times before lol
It's the offseason. Not that many topics to talk about now or new titles to title a video.
@@jwordxyz There still is a video out there about which teams are best constructed for the new salary cap and which players are going to be more/less valuable because of it.
I'd love to see that video.
@@jwordxyzhere’s been plenty he didn’t cover. He is just trying be the basic old basketball only news, no side news about players. He can’t keep doing that forever though no hate. He’ll likely sell high in a year or two and fade away into the industry. Which he’ll be worth millions so it’s a win for him.
@@MentallyUnhappyyou didn't explain that well at all.
@@jamaalsjourney other channels like “the flight mike” “ a.m hoops” etc cover a wide range of stuff and release it faster. “Chris smoove” does what he does but shorter which attracts the TikTok I need it fast viewer base. He also covers game highlights to add to it. In short though “long repeated topics are not what hit and short and fast are”. Have yourself a good weekend.
The NBA may want to try to implement a rule that a super max player can’t be traded until there is like one year left on their contract or something. It will make teams think hard about if they actually want a specific player long term. Some teams right now are simply locking up players on super max contacts with the mindset that they will just figure it out later (e.g. Bradley Beal). Also it will make the player think long and hard about if he wants to be on a certain team long term. Or perhaps there could be a contract clause that reduces a players super max to just a regular max if they get traded.
Very good ideas on your part.
Nah, if I’m giving up assets I want to make sure they aren’t 1 year rentals. The more years the better. If you really want to fix the problem just make it so there can only be 1 super max contract player on the roster and make a new contract that pays a 10% plus a max for players who meet the criteria for a super max but there is already a super max on the team. We could call it a plus level max contract. Teams will only be able to have 1 super max and 1 plus max on the roster.
1. You won’t see players leaving to join other super max players because they can’t.
2. We can still see a lot of player movement still but based more on team decision because they have to be more selective on who they give their only super max to.
3. More parity in the league and a level playing field for small market team as every team will have more of less the same structure. 2 superstars and role players. If a player is worthy of a super max but their team doesn’t agree the player could go to a bad team to receive a plus max or the super max accelerating that teams rebuild. We could legit see a league where every team has a chance to make the playoffs.
Bad idea, if a team signs a player to a 4 year max and can't trade him till the final year, if things go south, that's a 3 year ballast on your books that you can't move off from. No trades swing both ways, it stops stars from requesting trades, but also stops teams from trading star players if they think there's a better deal out there.
My idea may not be perfect, but it forces both the franchise and the player to make a more well thought out decision on if the supermax is worth being together for 5 years. Or you could implement my other idea instead and have a clause in the contract that reduces the supermax to just a normal max if the player tries to be slick and request a trade after getting their supermax.
My thought was: make all supermax deals automatically have a no trade clause (that the player can waive) but if the player gets traded the contract loses the extra “supermax” money and goes down to a regular max.
My thought was this protects the player from losing massive $ against their wishes, but also protects teams from players signing just to get paid and immediately demanding a trade, plus gives the player a reason to stay with the team.
And as you said, it would force teams to be way more thoughtful and judicious about giving out a supermax rather than just slapping it on everyone that gets eligible.
Teams just FLATLY need to say NO to trade requests with more than 1 year left.
In a perfect world that would be cool. Unfortunately you get a lot less back for a 1 year rental
@@ClaraInstalledAimbot But you also rarely, if ever, get equal value for a superstar.
So, if you want a Supermax, don't expect to get traded. If you want freedom, wait for free agency.
Are teams prepared to play ENTIRE SEASONS without their star players?
@@DyllanDynamik If he doesn't play, he doesn't get paid. And you best believe the next CBA would address that.
@@juliothom2408 The team still suffers....as the situation gets uglier.
Players basically want to eat their cake and have it too. In other words - get as maximum amount of money from their incumbent team and then cherry pick where to go next by requesting a trade. And the sad part is this is seen as just another day in the office. The supermax contract was the biggest mistake the league ever made. On paper it was "meant" to help small market teams to have some leverage when it comes to keeping their star players, but instead it does the exact opposite - it jackknifed the ability of teams like Portland or Washington to built competitive rosters around their star players. Granted, this could also be blamed on incompetent frant offices, but in all honesty what are the supposed to do when nearly a 1/3 of the cap is used to pay your franchise player.
The inmates are running the asylum for years in the NBA to the point of being practically irreversable.
Teams should have salary cap bonuses for their drafted players and there should be trade request fees.
I think that a player on a supermax that gets traded must have a penalty on his guaranteed payment, like say 5% for every month that contract is spent with a team that did not start the contract, while the destination team's cap hit remains the same as if the contract is still paid in full.
I think that will make players think twice about signing and then requesting a trade 1-2 years later
the only way to combat this is to implement new "trade kickers" imo (not sure if this EXACT one exists)
if a star signs a contract (supermax or otherwise) and requests a trade within 1 year, he will lose 40% of his new salary (year 2: 20% and year 3: 10%)
we can argue the exact number (but it's just an example)
teams that trade for him must still match the annual salary
eg
- Beal earns $50m in Year 1 and requests a trade
- the trade package of the Suns must treat him as a $50m asset
- BUT he will be paid only $50m × 60% in Year 1 by the Suns
- remaining $20m is paid by Suns to NBA (?)
Then the6 don’t request one they force one
I like this concept. The only thing I would add personally is a minimum games played if not injured. And has to be evaluated by a direct NBA league doctor to see if he’s actually capable of playing or not. I would say like if they miss 5 games just to sit out for contract issues or not feeling like being there they should be eligible for only 50 percent of their salary. because even in a regular job if you miss 3 days for no reason most jobs will terminate you. These dude have no excuse not to play they make millions. Unless they’re injured of course.
They'd fake injury like Ben Simmons
@@Quietcomet ok but HOW
@@SirJtheFirst good idea, any long-term injuries reported will have to be vetted by 3rd party or league-affiliated doctors
I think the solution to this problem is non-guaranteed contracts... basically a no-trade clause in the team's favor. If you request a trade and I don't want to trade you and you sit out... I don't owe you the majority of your salary.
Another option is that a supermax contract automatically downgrades to a max contract if the player get traded.
what if the player gets traded because the team just decided to nuke it. AKA what happened with the jazz. So should Mitchel and Gobert contract downgrade even if none of them requested a trade and everyone knew jazz will nuke the team as they have reach their potential and cant go over the hump. It is exactly because those two are in that kind of contract that the jazz manage to practically rob twolves and get so much in return with mitchel.
Every supermax deal should come with a clause stating that they can not request a trade unless they are 1/2 way through their contract (pretty much a no trade clause with stipulations). One of the stipulations is if a player requests a trade a year after they sign a supermax they can grant the players wish to be traded but they have to pay 10% of the contract to waive the no trade clause. Oh, and one more stipulation If a player does pay the fine to get traded, there should be at most a 5 game suspension for breach of contract.
The name of this clause should be called "The Running From Grind Rule"
This is the opposite of a problem. The amount of money a player can make on the free agency market hasn’t changed, players have the same freedom of mobility they had throughout the 2010’s. Home teams getting the option to pay extra just means more possible money for the players. Making one option better doesn’t make the other worse, even if comparison makes it feel that way.
And honestly, I love the parity this change has created for the league. If a big-market team wants a championship, now they actually have to earn it by being smart with their assets. No more drafting one star and expecting two or three others to just show up and sign.
You should do deep dives for certain teams this upcoming season! I’d like to know your thoughts on teams like the Pacers or you can go by divisions
Tucker, my man! i love the videos on every channel. you’re definitely who i look forward to when i need honest and unbiased insight. keep up the good work man!
A contract should just be null or voided once a player requests a trade.
Harden asked for a trade but he's never dealt with Morey before. Harden isn't going anywhere unless Morey thinks he's getting a fair deal. He literally let Ben Simmons sit half a season until he got his value.
Teams need to do a better job about building competitive teams and guys wont leave for better organizations.
So a player like kd got the Best setup, and still change teams multiple times, how is this gonna work.
Players are entitled to pay. Not to being in a competitive team
Great insight dude! I'm new around here, but you summarized everything pretty well.
Glad you enjoyed!
Maybe have the supermax bonus function like a reverse trade kicker. The player gets the extra money as long as they stay with their team; if they get traded, it reverts to a regular max contract.
There needs to be a change to the rules to prevent this, whatever that looks like. Management has no leverage anymore.
It’s too bad real world, everyday jobs don’t work the same way 🤷♂️
@@willhunting8733the real world may work that way for at-will employees but if you’re on a contract, you’re on a contract.
With Dame & a certain extent Beal, the team pretty much forced them to accept a trade. The made every move to show Dame that they are rebuilding & he should ask for a trade because they're no longer building around him.
@@Tip_Jar I was going to reply a much longer post but I'm just going to say there's a difference between a rebuilding team & a team ready to win now. Even if Scoot is amazing he'll still have growing pains plus they're obviously going to shift to building around him without the pressure of needing him to win immediately.
Building around Dame is a complete waste of time scoring points alone won’t win shit
I feel like we could see the trade request being an official request that comes with like 15% value shaved off your contract.
This is an easy problem to fix. There are already some trade kickers in some contracts when teams trade players. There just need to be a trade kicker when they ask to be traded so they lose a percentage of their contract value.
Welcome to the "I want my cake and eat it too" Era.
Yep. They're getting their insane contracts and asking out later. They should have addressed this with the new CBA
You're telling me at 8:14 you couldn't find a better picture of Mr. DAME TIME himself? 😭
I feel like they need to either A) no trade clause isn’t active until finishing three full years of ur contract OR the opposite of a trade kicker where ur salary goes down if you leave the team you signed the super max with
The comments about him looking weird without the Beard DEFINITELY got to him lol no more face on the vids ?😂
To me it's like if I'm an NBA player, I'm already making millions and millions of dollars regardless of circumstance and I'm gonna be set for life if I play my cards right. So why not just try to win and skip the extra shit?
I don’t think players are resigning with the intention of then leaving. Situations on the team change and then they try to change their situation. Seems to me to be very common in every profession.
I would take the owners and GMs side on this issue if they didn't fuck Isaiah Thomas over. Udonis Haslem has an NBA contract, but IT does not. That is criminal.
The biggest issue with all of it is that if a team doesn’t honor the trade request then all the other stars see that and won’t go to that team during FA or request a grad to that place. It’s a lose lose for the organization
IF you get traded because you requested the trade, the remaining part of the Super max should changed to a regular max.
Let's say the super max annual salary is $65,000,000 and the regular max contract annual salary is $55,000,000. Anyone on a super max that gets traded has their Annual salary reduced to $55,000,000. This would force players that want the money to stay put which is the intended function of the super max anyway. "Wouldn't this punish any super max player that doesnt force his way out but still gets traded?" Simply put, Yes but the No Trade Clause already exists. Players would stay put, and their NTC would protect their extra salary for staying there.
3 year no-trade period post sign would help or a req of one all-nba AND all-def team (expand to 3 teams) select to qualify for a super max with a min 70% games played for those all-teams. Encourage/reward defense. Also a Charmin-soft award.
Damian Lillard's trade request is because the front lied to him. He absolutely deserves to be traded. Trailblazers didn't put a winning team around him as agreed. They opted to rebuild while keeping him instead of being upfront
💯
What could they have done to build a winner? Trade all their picks for 10 years and young talent for Rudy Gobert....? Lol
Thats what another team did.
@@Dilemina not signed a star rookie to the same position as Dame? They could've at least pretended.
B.S. Dame's trade request is like everyone else. He called out PG in 2020 and now he's doing the same thing. Portland only owes him a trade to a contender and now he's forcing them to trade him to Miami for scraps. When Dame loses again in the playoffs on a Miami team, he's going to be roasted like no one else.
@@pfpchad2747Not even that Blazers have absolutely no obligation to send Dame to a contender, but they will in respect to what he’s done for the franchise. All these people going on and on about how they owe Dame are bugging.
Doesn’t the owners do the same thing…sign u too a max deal and before the max deal is over trade you if THEY FEEL LIKE ITS NOT WORKING OUT…I.E. BLAKE GRIFFIN WITH THE CLIPPERS SIGNED HIM TO A MAX DEAL AND TRADED HIM THAT SAME SEASON..So the players have more than the right to do the same…
Not quite, the player is still paid during trade negotiations, even if they just sit them on the bench, the player still gets paid.
When players demand a trade and refuse to play for their current team or a certain subset of teams they could be traded to, then the player Is either decreasing their value on the trade market and/or bring their value to 0 while continuing to draw a salary.
Imagine if you will, bob iger(ceo of Disney) just stops showing up to work, does no work at home, does nothing remotely close to his job. How long should bob iger get to do this until they trade him to the unemployment line? I would guess about 3-5 business days.
jaylen brown making 60 million is undoubtedly shooting player entitlement in the foot. he's not worth half that but still got paid like he's prime lebron james ready to carry the team. thats ridiculous man.
I think Dame is a bit different because his organization wasn't making a competitive team like they said they were going to. Signing a star rookie with your position and number isn't an encouraging move.
Dame is no different. The organization has been doing the same thing every year for a long time. Nothing changed but he kept signing the extensions. Now he's handicapping his team by requesting just one team. Total B.S. He was calling out PG for changing teams 2 years ago and now he's doing the same thing. What a hypocrite.
@@pfpchad2747 it is different. The team was being two-faced, and Dame finally saw a decision he couldn't rationalize away. The team was obviously moving to replace him. That's a *HUGE* change.
@@anthonynorman7545 Stop making excuses for Dame. Dame knew exactly what was happening.
@@anthonynorman7545 Dame is a hypocrite. I perfectly aware that the current Blazers' front office is a total ass when it comes to team management. Letting Dame sign a massive contract despite having lack of success which fans sugarcoats as "LOYALTY" and not running away from the grind. But now? He demands a trade for a specific team which is the Heat (a team that recently made the finals twice in 4 years) and I know he's completely aware that the Heat has no valuable assets outside of Jimmy and Bam. I know it can be solve by a 3-team, 4-team, or a 5-team trade but if Blazers letting Dame get what he wants after a year of signing his massive contract, like Tucker said, most superstars will do the same. Most criticize LBJ for signing with the Heat in 2010, but at least he never demanded a trade to a specific team after signing a massive contract.
@@anthonynorman7545 of course, 10 years in the NBA and still no success on winning a ring. Gave him a massive contract and soaking up 30% of the salary cap to keep him happy and dumb fans calls it "Loyalty". Don't get me wrong, Dame is a great player. But not a top 75 worthy. Mark my word, the moment he got traded, he will regress like shit and will be like the team's 2nd or 3rd option.
The issue here is poor team management, not NBA players hustling the system.
An easy fix should be changing the nature of the supermax. You should be guaranteed the money what other teams can offer as the minimum and the amount of supermax is only guaranteed if you stay with the franchise - the final year of contract. Making the additional supermax money conditional
Players should only be able to request trades to the Shanghai Sharks
Easy fix male those super max contracts come with a no trade clause that states you CANNOT be traded while under that contract
Players that request a trade on a supermax should be payed the vet min but still cost supermax cap
And this might destroy the game. Contracts mean virtually nothing. The NBA must fix this.
Sucks that with the new cba teams who draft their stars will loose them. And teams with stars wont be able to build around them. This hurts everyone. Means that alot of dudes are gonna be left out without a job. Cause all we focused on are rookies minimum players and one or 2 stars. Players like Tyler Herro Marcus smart draymond will all loose out on a job at some point or if you disagree then you can take one of those players and build around them. This new NBA has the potential to loose oit on alot of customers and viewers, i hope they see how stupid this is.
Love how your videos are just over 8 minutes… you must love money as much as those NBA players, lol.
Player Empowerment has killed my enjoyment of NBA basketball. I only watch during the Playoffs now because that’s the only time the players care so it’s the only time I care
This is because these players are supposedly professionals but act like anything but that and the system allows it. You have a contract and you don't appear at work, you get fired. Why should it be any different for basketball players? Just introduce a rule that makes them forfeit their contract, pay compensation to their team and be banned from signing max contracts any team for say 10 years if they refuse to play while under contract. Then see if anyone has the gall to say peep.
What's worse is nba players are negotiating for trade kicker I.e there contract increases in value after a trade, only to then request a trade in order to revive the extra money.
Pretty fucking obvious why this is a dumb idea too me.
The problem is that there is no reprecussion to not playing. If a player refuses to play they should immediately lose their money and he banned from the nba for the duration if the contract they signed and are refusing to honor x2. You sign a 4 year supermax and demadlnd a trade and refuse to play for the team that is paying you after one year, you lose all of the money peft on your contract and are banned from the nba for 6 years. The punishment should be so severe that no one wants to deal with it.
This started primarily with Kawhi and the spurs. A player should not ve allowed to refuse contact with their employer and should be required to share medical information if they are claiming a medical reason to sit. Spurs should have been able to write his contract off and spend that money elsewhere while kawhi sits at mcdonalds thinking about why he shouldnt act like a child.
Teams just need to grow a pair and deny their request
No way you used 2k Dame @8:10 😂
Hahaha
The owners need to stop this “player empowerment” bs. There should be penalties for asking for a trade and there should be a stipulation that if a trade request is granted the max goes down to what the maximum would’ve been when they signed it if they wouldn’t have signed with that team.
When a player with a supermax leaves the team he signed the contract with, the contract should revert to a regular max contract. It's the only fair way
This does bother me. As a fan it makes following and routing for your teams difficult. This is about greed which I completely understand.
Quality of the game is going downward though, quick.
Portland should have traded Dame a year ago. Now they're screwed. And Dame is a total hypocrite. The league should retract the contracts when players sign extensions and then ask for a trade. Or fine players ridiculous amounts if they ask for a team specific trade. Adam Silver is ruining the league.
Beal got traded he didn’t request
An era when you can get paid for not working. Awesome!
Teamd should implement breach of contract penalties
If a player signs a contract for 5 years on a quarter of a billion dollars then requests a trade a few months or a year later then a year should drop off of that contract.
Back the players all you want but this is a terrible look for the NBA. Players look like childish devas telling everyone that they are loyal while to get a $250million contract and then the loyalty fades.
Who is being loyal? Because it seems like the team is being loyal and the player is taking advantage of that loyalty.
lol superstars have always done this nothing new just more social media so you notice it more everyone use to just want to go to the lakers and the celtics tho thats why they have so many chips
why not just take a summer break rather than pump out these similar videos?
We get it. You clones and drones hate the Suns 😐
Another NBA youtuber talking bout the same thing 😒
It’s off-season it’s dry out here
Id change the supermax name to cornerstone and make the contract untradeble. Both sides commit for the longhaul like a catholic marriage.
The sun will be trash
Content must be really dry rn
you’ve made this video a few times before buddy
you told us this 5 times. what you want us to do about it?
KD signed while Harden was around, happy, and before KAI had issues.... Beal was kinda forced out by a new FO who wants to rebuild... Dame was lied to for the past few years.... Theres more context than they signed and asked out... the premise is correct, but lacking context.
first
You hate player empowerment 😂
TUCKER is tricking his own fans…because BEARD
This is literal bs lmao. Players are supposed to care about the billionaire team owner's pocket getting a tiny bit thinner?
