You don't need telepathy to see that for over the past year, the player isn't into negotiating or is stalling. You just need intuition. A player can say whatever he wants, but it is up to the GM to believe it based on the other signals they are sending.

i agree with you. Tre left this too late but I also think it was a dick move by johnny to not tell tre even if he's on the fence about leaving, i know most gms aren't trading for a player a monnth away from ufa but maybe before the trade deadline johnny could have said"
ya know im thinking i may not want to return, here's a couple teams im maybe interested in if you want to trade me" A team might have traded to get johnny as a rental for a run.
To me johnny saying he wants to wait til season is done to negotiate is a red flag to start working on either a trade or saying we can't wait. Tre didn't handle it the greatest.
Tre said "we're going to move heaven and earth to sign him" do you guys think we moved heaven and earth? i didn't follow it but what was out offer like compared to CBJ?
