I think everybody here except Lopo already knew this.
I definitely didn't think he'd re-sign here and be here long time, but I thought he at least planned to finish his contract out. I sure as hell didn't expect him to give this kind of an answer as soon as the season ended. Looks like he may be requesting a trade.
There were a lot of reports that he'd ask out as soon as this offseason if the Jazz were an early exit.
No. Those are extremely rare (and usually acquired after the first big contract).I kind of love this, tbh.
He’s a very good, not elite player. We are not winning a chip with him as our #1 offensive option.
That said he’s still super young, at peak value and has 3 years left on his deal. Could trade him for a damn HAUL.
Does he have a no-trade clause? No, right?
When McMahon says it you can believe it… he’s been consistentI heard the reports, but I honestly thought it was just rumors and speculation...apparently I was wrong.

He has a trade kicker clause. So if he doesn’t agree to waive it, ie they don’t send him where he wants, they get to pay him a % of his salary for the privilege of his trade demand. Moronic BS giving this pile of **** whatever he wanted.I kind of love this, tbh.

It’s going to cost the Jazz $6 million to do so when he won’t waive that trade clause.Didn’t think so. He can “ask out” all he wants as far as I’m concerned but he doesn’t get to choose where. Our response is to trade him wherever we get the best package and he plays there for 3 years.
