Kyrie is the only person to actually sit out and give up money. I’d like to see how long it takes before Dame reports when he loses out on 50 mil. All talk to try and force a trade to Miami.

Didn’t Ben Simmons sit out? He at least lost money.

He ended up getting it back for the most part. I believe it was part of the trade or under the guise of mental health. Unless I’m misremembering.

The 2 sides settled & details were not released. But the point is, he sat out with the very real possibility of not making any money.

[–] humutoor 1 points 1 year ago

He was advised by his agents (wrongly) that he wasn’t at risk of losing any money. I think that contributed to his decision to sit out.

In the end I think he got it using NBAPA lawyers.
