Wait, so if your unhappy, you don't have the right to ASK to be traded? I mean, it IS a right. Just as much as a guy can ask for a trade, a team can say no.

What, so if I move into an apartment for a year, but 6 months in my unit gets infested with mice, do I have to live there until the end of my contract, THEN leave? I can't request to either have the problem fixed, or the option ot be released from the contract?

Re-read my post and then read what you just said and then you tell me how you got all of that out of my post.

Did Kevin Durant grow again?

Durant is listed as shorter than Perkins lol

Did Kevin Durant grow again?

Why did Perk lose SO much weight? I understand getting himself conditioned to prevent injury but he looks like a SF.

I'll ask this question and I think it's a fair one:

What has Blake done to be considered a Superstar now?

Ummm, he jumped over the front quarter of a bumper of a car...

I still can't get over that is Kendrick Perkins.

Yeah IDK about Perk losing all that weight. I saw him in other pics as well, and I was wondering why he would do that.

His main strengths were to bully people with his size. Kinda worried about him, but we'll see him play soon.

Re-read my post again and then read what you just wrote and then you tell me how you came to that conclusion after reading my post again.

You said play out your contract, then leave.

Basically, your saying that a player has no right to want out of a contract that he "signed up for." Even if circumstances occur that would be detrimental to that player and team occur.

Guess what? He did play out his first contract. He signed another one, believing the Hornets would get better talent and make strides towards competing. They start regressing and repeatedly getting knocked out the 1st-round. Now, he's unhappy, and he asks to be traded.

And I'm just making a comparison in my second paragraph, but Ill make a better one: What if the Hornets told Paul, "You're the future of our franchise." Then they just decide to not play him at all. Should he still play out his contract?

I wouldn't call him a superstar. Not yet. He gotta do more than hop over a car.

I imagine that team is like 6-7 years younger than him, he's gotta be able to run with them . Plus, this could extend his career a couple years and actually give him better movement and flexibility on offense.

Blake aint a superstar yet, but come on guys he did more than jump over a car

He got some upside, but I think people are getting carried away.

The Blueprint for leaving your team is simple:

Play out your contract and leave. Been like that for years.

You said play out your contract, then leave.

Basically, your saying that a player has no right to want out of a contract that he "signed up for." Even if circumstances occur that would be detrimental to that player and team occur.

Guess what? He did play out his first contract. He signed another one, believing the Hornets would get better talent and make strides towards competing. They start regressing and repeatedly getting knocked out the 1st-round. Now, he's unhappy, and he asks to be traded.

Please don't put words in my mouth because that is not what I said nor implied at all.

So is playing out your contract and leaving not simple?

Simple Yes or No question.

Simple?
