What’s wrong with this?

Yeah, I think building a huge business is impressive.

Everyone else in the league and in big business acts for the good of others

Sure. It's how they do it that bugs me. Paul has crossed multiple ethical lines

Nothing, in isolation. What's wrong is the way they have strong-armed people to

The NBA is a business and business is dirty.

Big business doesn't have to be unethical. What he did with Anthony Davis is

What big business doesn't act unethically? I don't disagree with you though, it

I don't recall backroom dealings happening to the degree they happen now before

Times change. Maybe the owners will be able to figure some things out during

Doesnt that means he is doing his job really well

If you consider violating the by-laws of the CBA an indicator of a job well done

I think his job is to help his clients go where they want to go.

This is the best write up I’ve seen about Rich Paul

I am totally fine with them having power when they are free agents. I am not

Tell me how NOP were torpedoed by ADs actions?

2018grad

7/17/19 9:43am

Yeah, same with Indiana and OKC. A star forcing a trade is better than them just

Dillinger

7/17/19 9:44am

The only reason you can say that is because NOP won the lottery.

Even without Zion you could still argue it. They weren’t going to win anything w

Also they might notwin the lottery without AD demanding the trade. So you can’t

no no, AD wanted to leave, and he should be able to choose where he wants to go

CrashMcLarson

Please.... He was under contract. If he didn't like it, he shouldn't have signed

I get that point. But he wasn't going anywhere but LA and let everyone know

Another team might not be so lucky.

Meh. Players requesting trades, even with preferred destinations, is a full step removed from free agency

You're underestimating the impact their preference makes on the

No, I totally get that. I just don't think that's wrong at all.
