But you realize the NBA owners can’t just do this unilaterally, right? The players would have to sign off on what you’re talking about and I see no reason they’d do so.

Also, bringing up FA versus the Beal situation fails to recognize that FA effected the entire league of players and I’m pretty sure needed the courts to finally grant the players FA. What you’re talking about is the league upending contract rules because one team is stuck with a terrible contract, that they knowingly entered into.
All true. But you can easily look at the other side of it too. I am looking at it from the owners view and you from the players. All these things have come together from both sides. I remember people saying free agency would never happen because why would the owners ever give up their control? Things are always one way, until they are not.

The owners didn’t give up control. They were FORCED to give up control by the courts/government because of something effected the entirety of the league.

Are you intimating something like that could happen because of ONE bad contract/situation in the entire league?

Not even worth arguing. This is a non-thing.

This whole thing is getting WAY out of hand. I said if it went to the worst possible outcome, and I kept putting IF in CAPS, and explaining the worst possible outcome, then owners would take issue. True if it's just the Suns problem no-one cares. If it goes Viral with Bradley Beal continuing to go tone deaf with fans, and saying he doesn't give an F, fans could start booing him in games, and saying nasty things like a fan already has. I could see where if this goes bad, owners wouldn't stand for that.

Again, I am saying only if this goes really bad.
