The CBA. That's what we're discussing here. if owners say you need to "meet x requirements of games played and years on the contract" it's up to the players to negotiate extending the NTC to everyone at any time.
I have a crazy idea. A consecutive 1st round pick should be added for the teams with these star players demanding a trade.
Like if Brooklyn would have the 20th pick in the next draft, then get the 21st as well and everyone else move down.
lol.. i dunno.

If owners want players to not be allowed to request trades then they should negotiate that. Until then, it’s perfectly legal
We can’t keep picking and choosing when trades get to be business, based on who initiates.
1. I wasn’t even talking to you …and the conversation I responded to was not about the CBA it was about the language inside of CURRENT players contracts
2. Of course players can negotiate whatever conditions they see fit during the actual CBA talks ..which is why in the event that the owners do try to make a hard push to remove players ability to privately request a trade ..on that grounds that those players made a “signed commitment”.. the players will easily be able to point out the hypocrisy of the ownerships stance by referencing the several players that are routinely traded by owners after also giving a “signed commitment” to those players …highlighting the lack of principle that the ownership contingency has in making such a request

is that not what the thread is about? The title of the thread is "Adam Silver wants remedies" and a bunch of posters got hot. Oh well. CBA is coming. Everyone will have their chance.
Yeah, this is an awful response. You don’t know a thing about business.

I didn’t say contracts hold no weight. I asked you to name how frequently ownership looks at a contract as something binding them to you? You had no answer. You said it doesn’t matter. So if you are free to seek to trade me at any point, why am I not free to express that I don’t want to play for you? You’re just not used to the idea of an “employee” having any leverage. Harden didn’t sit out, he just played uninspired and that’s no different than management benching players who can play because they see no future for them with their organization and intend to move them. It works both ways.Obviously you don't if you believe contracts aren't meant to hold weight

If I get equity as part of my compensation plan, am I still not a company employee?

Your question doesn’t change the point. A high level executive or employee gets equity because they’re valued that highly and their compensation is tied to the company’s performance just like an NBA player. The NBA players are members of a Union that collectively bargain for the wages and benefits of NBA employees. The fact that their wages are based on revenue sharing does not make them any less employees. It makes them employees with a strong union contract. They get a weekly check from their organization just like a regular employee.
