Donta Simpson to the portal

[DC3]

When a player enters the portal is he still accepted in the team area? Or is he outcasted immediately?

Depends on the team

 

[The Sphinx]

SMDH… **** kid. You got some really bad advice.

It’s not the What or Why, but it’s usually the How or When that does you in.

Should have handled this much better.

 

[Fly1]

Need his depth

Dude would be getting more burn next year….

 

[PBJFanatic]

In the middle of a playoff-run?
Fck the kid and his handlers who put him up on this shenanigan.

I dont disagree. Im just wary of crucifying anyone that could bring value next year. People read.

 

[Calinative]

He got a new agent in the middle of the season. Don’t think he played after that.

If this is true and you essentially try to re-negotiate mid season with threat of holding out basically... then idgaf, you're out. Quitting mid/late season is an automatic your time here is done and we will find an upgrade...

 

[k9cane]

part of the problem with instance like Simpson is that they want to get paid off projections and not actual production...

 

[Runpasskickscore]

not now, we in a playoff run ... you a distraction

There’s only one portal window, and it starts tomorrow. It’s now or never.

 

[MedleyCane]

Nowdays every year is renegotiations with every player.

Fair.
But there is a time and place for this, no?
I've seen interviews with several head coaches claiming their players asking for renegotiated contracts in the middle of the season after having put together several good games.
Middle of the season.
Ridiculous.

 

[TallyCane]

Wow if true

Good riddance.

D Money alluded on the show this morning that he is getting some bad advice from somebody.

And he hasn’t done enough here to be renegotiating

 

[k9cane]

And he hasn’t done enough here to be renegotiating

at all, thats where this whole process has become broken..

 

[drewm3i]

CONTRACTS

 

[ScubaCane]

Must be some behind the scenes drama

 

[hoops156]

didnt read through but I guess word has leaked that he wants a pay raise

 

[grover]

at all, thats where this whole process has become broken..

How is that broken though? Kid thinks he’s worth X, staff thinks he’s worth <X. They’re now constructing multi year contracts with buyouts and upside. That’s capitalism. Coaches can do it why can’t the players?

 

[dirtyred786]

I'm confused. If Moten cant go next week that pretty much guarantees him some PT. What is he doing?
