That's still an exception. shyt isn't a rule. Dudes whine themselves off of teams or force their GM's hands pouting trade threats in order to get a team around them.

Since Curt Flood, where haven't athletes held their destiny in own hands when it comes to free agency? :beli:

Stop that, bruh. You support bytch nikka tendencies where super teams are worshiped over players overcoming adversity to lead a team to a title like real star athletes do.

Actually they haven't. NBA didn't have FA until he 80's and NFL didn't have it until the 90's.

For the billionth time this is not the movies where great players just will their rag-tag group of teammates to the big game where they overcome the cocky opponent who has all the talent but lacks the most important talent of all...heart:hug:. :comeon:

Since when is adversity something you should seek? Where is the logic in that? There is none but some people don't look at sports with logic and thus we have people espousing that made for the movies narrative that you just threw out there.

What kinda adversity to Magic overcome being drafted to a team that had Kareem on it?
What kinda adversity did Bird overcome with 2 other 20/10 guys arriving almost immdiately?
What kinda adversity did Kobe overcome starting his career on team with prime Shaq?
What kinda adversity did Russell overcome playing with a team full of HOFers?

Did they have bytch nikka tendencies too? Lemme guess that was different because they were drafted by/traded to those teams. :rudy: Its' only okay to be in a good situation if it's by someone elses doing right? :smh:

Through free agency players have always been able to control their on destiny, its just the fact that you got dudes like Dwight forcin trades to certain locations, thats fukkin everything up..nothing wrong with LeBron did, its fukked up how he did it, to put hisself over the sports like that and shyt on hometown..its wrong..Demanding trades in general should be put to rest, because in most worlds, if you sign a contract, youre suppoased to abide by it..you just cant break a contract out of the army and request a trade to Navy...its just not professional at all...and you know I can understand if youre having personal issues with a player or coach, but still work it out, you signed the dotted line...

never said it was a rule, nor did I even agree with the poster.

I was answering a question.

but I will ask this: when was the last time a player demanded a trade, got traded, then won with that team?

How so? He made a "my free agency is most important than yours" law or something?

:laugh:

Totally agree with this. If nikkas wanna go somewhere as FA so be it but all this chosing where you wanna be traded to is stupid and counterproductive. The Knicks coulda been :ooh: had Melo just signed in the offseason. The Nets could be :ooh: right now if Dwight hadn't opted in and just signed with them. shyt won't stop until one of these teams smartens up and says "fukk you I'ma do what's best for this squad" and sends these nikkas to Siberia for the best package available.
