i'm just saying that new orleans clearly comes off worse if they really did something like this out of spite It won’t matter because they never will get a big FA while they are in NO anyways unless they luck in to another Davis like guy in the draft and he can recruit a guy. Also idk how much players and the league actually will hold this against them. Seems like a lot of guys and teams are sick of Lebron’s horsefeathers with trying to pull these deals off behind teams backs and colluding. There’s probably a lot of players that love this move to spite Lebron. i highly doubt that players would be anti-lebron in this case. the players want as much control as they can get. lebron is the most important person in basketball, and i don't blame him for using his power to get what he wants when his employers are always going to be doing the same thing. i don't like the way the nba has become about the top 5-10 guys choosing where to win, but i don't blame the players for it (except for kd, horsefeathers kd)
