I don't understand your theory here... It's not a job offer and the situation is not the same... T_Man
And it's still not ok to do, legally. If someone makes an official offer, and you acknowledge + accept it, that's a contract even if you haven't signed an employment contract yet.
If you didn't see this on previous page, Bobby Marks of TheVertical tweeted me a response to Feigen's tweet (quote below). Nutshell, Teams are not obligated to honor offer sheet bonuses of the kind in the contract (individual achievement and league honors), but they usually are. It's nothing about health issue, contractually. Teams have a Right to honor bonuses or not. JB should have known the Rights of the team.
If these decisions have been guided by BJ and this ends on a sour note for DMo, if I'm him I'm lawyering up and suing for breach of fiduciary duty. This is ludicrous.
Continuation of discussion between Bima, Bobby Marks and myself Did BJ have any clue that the Incentives don't have to be honored, by CBA Rules?
OMFG - BJ signed a deal that if matched by the Rockets would actually be cheaper? No wonder DMo is pissed off, he lost out on millions by the match, probably did not even KNOW that....BJ should be fired immediately. DD
But this is different.. Texas is a right to work state where you can work for WHO ever you like... This is an employee that is working for organization that has a 2 unions and they have a collective bargaining agreement... D-Mo signed a contract with a team and his original team has matched that contract, so that team has his rights.... Which means he can't sign with another team unless the team with his contract decides to let him go. You on the other hand work for Company A and Company B, gives you an OFFER and Company decides to match it... The difference here is... You can sign with Company B, C or D with no issue... D-Mo can't do that.. So please explain to me how it's the same... T_Man
What's the latest? I have been out and I am sitting on the pot taking a **** before my workout. Too many pages to read to catch up
See my posts of a my tweet conversation with Bima and Bobby Marks. Apparently, BJ did not know that matching teams are not obligated to honor bonuses of the type that were in the contract (individual achievement and league honors).
