think about Richard Jefferson opting out of his contract with us, and then finding a team that would pay him 80% of that.. He'd be forced out of the league for no reason..

Then dont opt out, i dont know, change the rule, let them receive offers without having to opt out in the last year.
Im just giving an example, I havent thought of the best way to do it, Im just saying, this AK47 contract is laughable, we all know it. In fact, he opted out KNOWING that he will get more money from the Nets, this is no coincidence, he knew. Also, noone understood why he was doing that, $10M, thats a lot to leave on the table.
Well...now we have the answer.
The Spurs, like many other teams, WASTED time and money trying to acquire him. This affects everybody.
This thing doenst need prove, he either got money under the table, or he is mentally disabled.

Maybe Im angry because I keep trying to watch the NBA as a game...

the thing is simple, he wanted a multiyear contract and he wanted to play for a contender. Opting out is like betting on yourself, but when that actually happened, the teams that were interested in him, couldn't afford him, once he saw that he wouldn't get what he wanted, he decided to opt for the most money available with a contender, if the case was as you said, than he'd take a multiyear just so it wouldn't look so obvious. Again, opting out is like betting, Kirilenko lost this time, and that's all that there is imho.

NBA will do nothing about it, and it quite the opposite actually, they only want to lick Prohkorov ass hole, they see him as good for the NBA business wise, they want to make him happy, that's why David Stern block Pierce and Garnett move to the Clippers so they could go only to Nets, that's why they would not do nothing about the AK situation, NBA has goal to make Brooklyn Nets champs!

Also, how much $$ is the NBA going to make off of the Nets luxtax penalties? I know some gets dispersed among the under cap teams but a percentage of that has to go to the NBA FO.
