If a concession of $10 Million is made, similar to that made by &nbsp;D. Wade, and if the team makes 10% on their investments, then Mr. D. Wade is entitled to $100,000,000.00 ( 100 $Million ) in team ownership. &nbsp;That is a very high number, and by the way, it is yearly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think that I am crazy, then consider the slave that gives Massa $10 Million to help Massa buy more slaves! &nbsp; Not that NBA players are slaves, but NBA teams have ownership.  Whatever profit margin applies, the benevolent player is entitled to it in reverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is in sharp contrast to the current pat on the head and &amp; ada-boy \u00a0proclamation.  There is a difference between negotiation and writing legal terms.  I was delighted when Carmelo Anthony told Phil Jackson to go to Hell when Phil complained about Anthony not being willing to make such a foolish, self deprivation move!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Money offers that are being reported during this current round of Free Agency are truly staggering. &nbsp;It is very apparent that super stars are going to demand hefty price tags. &nbsp;Teams will be challenged to maintain sanity during this incredible feeding fest. &nbsp;It seems that some players are scarcely worth some of the offers that we have heard of after day one of 2016 Free Agency. &nbsp;It is a sure bet that some aggressive moves to acquire talent will require some additional consideration, after the smoke clears and teams struggle to fill out their rosters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Players, prepare your selves for this Ownership Offer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Players with exceedingly big hearts are willing to sacrifice part of their salary to the team to otherwise pursue prospective stars. &nbsp;This money comes straight out of the player\u2019s &nbsp;pockets and it is investment in the team. &nbsp;It is fundamentally fair to consider this to be an ownership move, and teams that request such concession &#8230; <span class=\"more\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/entrancetri.com\/index.php\/2016\/07\/01\/court-talk-without-boundaries-4\/\">[Read more&#8230;]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":258,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,5],"tags":[21,52,53,86,50,51,49,20,46,22,48,45,47,44,13,54],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/entrancetri.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/entrancetri.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/entrancetri.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entrancetri.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entrancetri.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/entrancetri.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":312,"href":"https:\/\/entrancetri.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257\/revisions\/312"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entrancetri.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/entrancetri.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entrancetri.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entrancetri.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
