Well, looking at Ball's family should have given us a hint. He may end up being a good to great player, but trying to make him a leader on the team is a mistake. While he is young, he has not shown anything that would support him being a team leader. 

This team needs a strong personality to keep the team in line, as none of them seem to care about anything but "getting theirs".  Terry did seem to care, but that was not enough. Too bad Gordon isn't that guy, with his crazy contract. At least he could provide leadership, we all know he'll miss more than half the games on the court. 

Unfortunately you are right. LaMelo is a good young guy all things considered but he's immature which is not uncommon in the NBA. They need to figure it out though because we showed Borrego the door and immediately declined significantly and the knuckleheads that he tried to keep in line are now just having a good time no matter how bad we lose. Keeping Miles Bridges around was all the hint we needed that this franchise values character zilch. Bummer.

I have nothing personal against Gordon Hayward but from the standpoint of an extremely well paid athlete he is spoiled and entitled. When his wife called out the team last year or whenever it was that told me all I need to know. Frankly. Fug that guy.

Looked it up and since the 2004-2025 season (first season as the Bobcats) this franchise has had a winning record 4 times.  And those were barely above 500 for the most part.

They have been bad for a very long time now

Its pathetic and sad actually 

At least jordan got out of the picture, worst owner in NBA history. It will take time and a special group to get the loser smell out of there.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
