NTCs Need Re-Vamped

[GoIrish]

not everything needs fixed its quite simple.

Going through the player is like going through the agent in this league. So in theory you do not want it to change.

Or option B) Scrap Agents.

Since I know DJ will kill me for saying that, option B is not an option.

Maybe it should be up to the gms to describe what they mean when giving a NTC.

Or maybe teams should stop trying to trade players they give NTC to, a year or two after.

I have to completely agree with everything Hokey said on every level.

I will add that it is pretty ignorant to sign someone to a long term deal and negotiate into the deal a NTC only to look to trade the player a season later. Too many owners in this league are making an abuse of what a NTC actually means. If you have no intention on keeping the player or your intention is to move the player down the line, guess what? don't ask for a NTC.

I personally think the easiest way to deal with this is to take away the NTC buyout. You agree to a NTC, then honor it.
