The Regime Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Per Marc Stein's Twitter: "Rising belief around NBA that some sort of franchise tag on way, along w/Melo's open lust for extension by June 30, changing tune out there" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicbalala245 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) This will kill Melo if there is some sort of franchise tag coming to the NBA. That means it will be open market for anybody and it won't be just the Knicks the Nuggets could deal with now for Carmelo.

Rajon Rondo Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 A franchise tag would be great in the NBA. Not every year, though. Let each team use it once every 5 years or so. That way a team like Cleveland won't lose it's franchise player for basically nothing. And for the player's benefit, the tagged player should become the highest payed player for the tagged year.

Dash Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 A franchise tag would be a disaster in the NBA unless there was some sort of limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Franchise tag would be a pretty cool addition to the NBA. I think its a good idea. You should only be allowed to use it once on a guy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I dont think it would work well in the nba. Players who get franchised would just [expletive] non stop, or refuse to play. Its a big difference when your looking at a 5 man starting lineup vs 16 in football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish7718 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I don't think it's necessary in basketball, plus it really kills the FA freedom of guys, that's unfair. People should be allowed to go where they want no matter how [expletive]ed of a way they do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
