Not what I asked. I asked, who was the last player with 4 Years left the contract who demanded a trade.
Ben's not a superstar. Very good player, Superstars don't pass the ball in 4th quarters of game 7's because he's scared to shoot. Can't believe you called him a superstar lol

Did Vince hold out, get thrown out of practices, fined/team suspensions? Did Wilt and Kareem hold out? That was before my time

Yes he'll get a traded eventually but my main point is the league wont let this become the norm. They won't let a player hold an organization hostage like he's trying. I bet the next CBA will try to address situations like these

I definitely believe they will not make a trade just to get rid of him
