Of course I dont think that.
But I don't think Ace is mailing it in either.
You dont think every player has the attitude "f it, I'll mail it in this season, and if the team sucks, I will get paid anyway?"
I would suggest some people do.
Well if a player under contract can mail it in - why couldn't a coach?
So my hypothetical doesn't apply to you
But it does for others.
It's not a false equivalent at all.
Both people are under a guaranteed contract regardless of team results.
Someone with only a 1 year expiring contract has less incentive to mail it in than someone under a multi-year contract for much more guaranteed years.
Why do you constantly compare the dynamics of the players’ situation to the coaches?
As if it’s players vs coaches…?
They are in different positions. Literally and relatively.
BTW, if the players are getting shafted so badly. Any of these kids are welcome to apply for a coaching position instead of a roster spot, if they feel that’s in their best interest.
Instead of “but the coaches” how about we hear about why more 19 YOs are getting shafted on their status as a coaching candidate.
