MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

Yes, I agree with the RFA process being slanted towards the team, but the player should have the ability to take the QO and bet on themselves the next season.  Not get locked into another year of RFA.  I have never heard that before, but I imagine you know what you are saying.

Doesn't sound right that if a player is a 2 year, becomes a star, and is forced to take the MLE or be a RFA again the next year.

What's right is relative, and the setup takes into account lots of other realities.

The idea that a 2nd round pick is going to get to free agency of ANY kind before a first rounder is part of the equation. The 1st rounder will be limited by the rookie scale through 4 seasons, and only gets to a RFA in year 5. If a 2nd round project somehow does great, and is a FA after year 2, he's way ahead of the game relatively speaking. The big MLE would be far more than the 1st rounders are making, if he can get it.
