need you forget the power of the tag

sign the tag and play or sit out for a year.

If the two sides are threatening each other with extremes and a third party intervenes and makes an offer to appease both parties it can be done. it has been done.

I will spell it out for you so you understand what happens when all three parties sit at the table.

Parties one and two do you have and agreement?
Parties two and three do you have an agreement?

if the answer to both questions is YES they go to the next step

The issue of the tag. it is unsigned which is a good thing because it makes it a whole lot easier. less paper work

they take the picks jimmy signs and the tag is removed.

HE DOES NOT NEED TO SIGN THE TAG !!!!!!!!

All the tag does is guarantee you picks for your best player thats it. The picks limit the options out there.
He gets traded
or signs at fair dollar value
or sits out for a year.

ok i will force feed you some more

Section 14(a)

Section 14(a) states that, if a transition player hasn’t signed a contract by July 22, only the player’s current club may negotiate or sign him thereafter.

Section 15(a) contains no similar deadline for franchise players, stating only that, if the player hasn’t signed a contract with “a Club” by the Tuesday following the 10th week of the regular season, the player can’t play for any team that year.

Read together, these provisions imply that an unsigned, non-exclusive franchise player can be signed to an offer sheet up until the Tuesday following the ninth week of the regular season, since the prior club must have one week to match before the contract is finalized.

The only potential caveat to this approach comes from the July 16 deadline restricting the prior team’s ability to sign a franchise player to a multi-year deal. The correct interpretation of the CBA could be that matching the offer is different from signing the player to a multi-year deal. Otherwise, the CBA as a practical matter allows a team to sign a non-exclusive franchise player to an offer sheet after July 16, with the player’s prior team having no ability to match.

Confused?

The point is that unsigned, non-exclusive franchise players remain fair game

-if any team decides for whatever reason that it’s not happy with its current depth chart and an unsigned, non-exclusive franchise player is the answer that team can still make a run at that player
- prior club must have one week to match before the contract is finalized.
- prior club gets two first-round pick

Look as long as he is unsigned he can talk to any club he wants. those clubs would know his cost is two #1's and his contract. There is no mention in the CBA that a franchise player must sign the tag prior to trading.

all we get is one week to match.

So stop jumping me every time i bring it up. you are wrong
