The first couple days of free agency have been packed with historic signings, blockbuster trades and one league-altering trade request. Here are some of the standout winners and losers … so far
Kevin Durant’s trade request with four guaranteed years left on a $198 million contract extension that was signed last August might be a tipping point in a growing league-wide issue that concerns stars who grab as much money as they can, then backtrack on the contractual commitment to stay with the organization that agreed to give it. We just saw a standoff between Ben Simmons and the Sixers that was public and ugly for several months. Neither side benefited.
But if you’re another owner watching this play out from afar—especially one in a small market—you’re considering what might happen if your own franchise player came forward with a trade demand 10 months after you came to terms on a humongous, long-term contract extension. The Kings didn’t have a good offense last year and Monk just had a breakout season shooting the ball. But how much of his production will fall back to Earth? Monk's effective field goal percentage went from 62.1% with James to 54.7% without him last year. He’s good friends with De’Aaron Fox, which is nice. But there were better options available to assuage a more pressing need.
