NBA Commissioner Adam Silver called the Moratorium Period ‘An Imperfect System’. Surely, we can come up with a system that is better.
How about keeping a moratorium period but adding a league approved 'letter of intent' during this time. If a player changed his mind his decision would have to go before the NBA to be approved. This would eliminate the 'ram rod job' that the Clippers performed at the last hours. If the players reason for changing his mind was deemed legitimate than it would be allowed. A guideline of what is a legitimate reason can also be outlined. To change their mind simply because of an immature approach that could be easily swayed back at the last minute would not be possible.
Even this could have short-comings but it would make a player take a commitment seriously. It's sad how something is necessary to force grown men to be honorable.
I'm totally open to any better suggestions. Please don't just be critical of an idea but suggest one.
Are you listening Mr. Silva ?
