A) You cannot have a NTC for only a partial length of a contract. If this was possible, free agency would never end during the offseason.
Out of the major sports, the NBA does not have a compensation pick system for lost free agents. The old sign and trade operated as a form of a compensation system. Now standard trades operate as a form of a compensation system ( i.e. Paul George to OKC) NTC chokes out the trade market, which would crush any type of compensation "in practice" anywhere in the league.
B) A player needs to have 8 years of NBA service time AND four years ( either consecutive or accumulated/non consecutive) with the same team to qualify for a NTC.
C) The Knicks could wait, let Kanter test the market in a cap choked out environment, then if he inexplicably didn't take his player option, they could sign him for 2 years at a far lower AAV than 14 million.
You are suggesting the team sign a guy through his decline phase, to outbid against itself without regard to the entire marketplace and offer an illegal contract.
With Darvish arriving to Cubs' camp on Tuesday, the deal is now official. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the yearly salaries break down as follows: $25 million in 2018, $20 million in 2019, $22 million in 2020, $22 million in 2021, $19 million in 2022, and $18 million in 2023. He has an opt-out after two years and a full no-trade clause for the first four years. It then switches to a limited no-trade clause consisting of 12 teams. Darvish and Tyler Chatwood are the new additions to a strong rotation which also includes Jon Lester, Jose Quintana, and Kyle Hendricks.
I don't really understand what you mean why FA would never end? Are u saying baseball rules and basketball are different?
