But we have no idea what all is going on with personal relationships between players coaches and front office.
Definitely agree there should be some familiarity and a bit of loyalty from the first contract.
Am I misremembering though that the deal was offered to MJ first, and when he didn't take it, they shifted to Dunlap? ...Or at least was it like, whoever takes this offer first gets signed type thing? I feel like I heard that, but certainly don't know if it was confirmed.
And wouldn't it be great to at least listen in on front office dealings? That's why I do find it pretty interesting to play a bit of psychologist following along with what they're deciding to share on social media. It's as good a thing as any out there to get a little bit of edge on what way people might be inclined to think about things like contracts, teams, teammates, and the league.
