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
> >I don’t care how many years are left on Ben’s contract or >what support Morey >has, players eventually get their trade demands met....
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
>This one will be no different... He will not be a sixer beyond >this season.
I definitely believe they will not make a trade just to get rid of him
