    It should take a whole lot more than #3.   I don't know that they have enough.    Knox, DSJ, #3 and a couple more picks MIGHT be enough.

    Need to have longhornmatt work up a trade for us.

    Anyone that ever saw magic on his talk show knows he's not the brightest tool in the shed.  I honestly thought he was there at the Lakers just as a public figure to trot out on TV and try to attract free agents.  I had no idea he had any actual basketball or business related duties.  

    He apparently didn't even know he had an office.

    You seem to be talking simply about his contract within NOLA.  But "how the system works" includes "buyout option."  This of course is used all the time to break contracts.  Yes the team has the power and not the player, but often these are mutually agreeable.  Let's say Zion does okay but in 2 years NOLA thinks they can get a better fit with some players or draft choices.  Would they trade Williamson in some mega deal if he does well?  It's possible.  If he ends up not meeting expectations/gets injured too much?  It's more than possible.

    Any contract is voidable.  Including this one.  Not saying it'll happen, but yeah, it could, and it does.  A lot.  No matter what the long terms are.

    1.  A buyout option does not break a contract.  It's part of the contract.  As is a player option.

    2.  If the buyout option is "mutually agreeable," it's not a buyout option.  It's a mutual option. 

    3.   Athlete contracts are not voidable.  Contracts are voidable only because of stuff like fraud, coercion, etc.  Seriously, when have you ever seen an NBA contract being voided?

    Shit, you sound like Vic trying to play lawyer.

    Dude, its not an underground problem. It is, at worst, a partially obscured but a tacitly accepted dynamic. As Burt said, which part of fbi recorded tapes proving racketeering with zero consequences jives with the concept of Underground? Clemson uses a tax exempt fucking church to launder money. Bitcoin cant be traced. The only way cheating goes away is if the power programs tell the ncaa to fuck off and start a new governing body. Why would Bama and Clemson want to do that? 

    * jibes.  JIBES!!!!
