Men's Basketball NBA 2019 - 2020

it'll not be the 1st incident and definitely it won't be the last , clubs are really controlling players while the last are the ones who bring money to all these organizations , if u don't want this guy just delete his contract and make him move to what ever club he wants to join but to force someone to go to club he doesn't want to go , the same incident happened from just few months ago when Clippers traded Griffin for pistons and he just knew about it from media also

It's not that simple. You can't delete a contract in the NBA. Drummond has a player option at the end of the season and he can join whatever the team he wants, the Pistons could have lost him for nothing.

I know it's impossible I mean this should be the case these players aren't slaves they know very well where they can go Iam totally against American teams controlling players like this and BTW I'm a very old pistons fan but what they did with drummond isn't acceptable

It is kinda disrespectful towards Drummond, but that's the business. I think the Pistons will now try to get rid off Griffin and his big contract, and have a chance to completely rebuild a team with a lot of cap space.

They did whatever they could to get rid of him. The Pistons would have got much more in return if they traded him a few weeks ago. Our dumbass owner and general manager are jokes.

Plans to restart the NBA season at the end of July.

Will depend on the basketball players’ Union being less stupid than the baseball one.

What did the baseball one do that was 'stupid'?

basically there's an endless fight between the greedy players' association (that wants at least 114 games + playoffs to be played in order to save at least 67% of their yearly salaries) and the super-greedy owners of the teams, who want no more than 82 (first proposal, rejected by the players asking for 114) and now no more than 50 games + playoffs season (counter-proposal to the players' 114), in order not to pay more than 30% of the yearly salary to each player...

 

so, instead of meeting in the middle of their initial request (as normally happens in any "supposed to be even" dispute), the more the owners ask for shortening the season (and pay less to the players), the more the players want to add games to the season, so to save the most possible of their yearly income...

 

all of this means that no agreement has been reached between the 2 counterparts and the chances of having any kind of 2020 MLB season get slimmer day after day...

Jeez what a bunch of kids

Yeah, it's funny. NBA players have jumped on the 'load management' stuff since few years and want to play as few games as possible while baseball players want to play more. Of course baseball is full of 30+ vets who don't really show much pure physical shape anymore, hell, Albert Pujols is still playing despite being years removed from his prime He reached the RBI milestone last season so he could just about fuck off already.
