Message: [QUOTE="jvbj01, post: 1016580, member: 442"] The NBA has a slotted contract system. It is predetermined by draft slot, what a player makes. There is a set scale and a player can make from 80% to 120% of the scale. Are you saying that a team could invest a first rounder and lose the player if the player isn't happy with his draft position? That would be penalizing the team and it would never be agreed on. As far as a player becoming professional and coming back to college with eligibility remaining, that would be opening a can of worms that again would never be agreed upon. In fact, that may encourage those players who may be on the bubble of leaving, to leave and enter the draft.
