You still don’t get the difference between what’s allowed and what’s fair. Just because something is allowed doesn’t mean it’s fair.
The cour system allows a lot of shit but I don’t think anyone would describe them as fair.
You and others continue to want to inject fairness into the discussion. Great, but seriously ... irrelevant.
I think is unfair that two guys, who sign their ELCs at the same time and come off their ELCs at the same time, can end up where one is RFA and the other is not because one has the required number of professional seasons to qualify for RFA and the other doesn't. I think it's even more unfair that a team can make decisions such that it denies a player a professional season that may be needed to qualify to be RFA. In the above situation, the 2nd guy is left in a "no man's land" where he can't talk to other teams like the 1st guy [who's RFA] can, and is subject to the whim of the team which can basically offer what it wants and leave the player to hang if he doesn't take it.
That's me. Someone else may ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and say
there's the rule, deal with it. And, ultimately, they're right. Until that rule changes, I can scream
zomg, that's so unfair and it might well be unfair, but I don't get to change the rule to what I want it to be. And, I don't get to demand everyone else change their view of what's fair or not to what
I think is fair. It's a collectively bargained item and it's not getting fixed unless the league agrees to a change, and the league probably isn't changing anything anytime soon no matter how much the players and agents scream.
Again: deal with the rule that exists, not the one you want to exist based on some idea of what
you think is "fair."
