Not taking sides but that is kind of blackmailing him.

Threatening to trade him to a team he doesn't want to play with if he doesn't opt-in to play another year with them? That is blackmailing to a degree.

Pretty soon he will no longer be referred to as simply Gerald Wallace, he will be Gerald Wallace's contract.

Sizeable expirers are trade-able
We can stretch amnesty him later.

Deron is obviously a huge fan of Wallace.

The Nets need to stop treating Williams like he's Michael Jordan. Giving into every demand, they'll end up with another Jason Kidd, when he had a stranglehold over everything they done.

that isn't blackmail. That is 100% within their rights.

"If you don't opt in to your contract for next season we will trade you to the Lakers, which we have the ability to do since it's our choice, and you will have to play with them for a single season" OH NO. something can't be considered blackmail if it's within the team's rights to do that thing.

Dwight Howard is scum.

Just trade him to Toronto so he fades into obscurity.

Nah trade him to Charlotte, that's the ultimate torture.

But congratulations Dwight, by the time your little "Indecision" is over...you'll have surpassed LeBron for most hated NBA player.

Hibbert is a 10 mil guy. why xan't teams pay accordingly instead of throwing out max contracts like it's nothing? small markets aren't bad because of the contract, it's because of all the shitty contracts.

But yet during the lockout, owners blamed the players for the shitty contracts.
