CBA should allow a player to buy themselves out of their contract.  Jimmy can pay the Heat 20 million to cancel his deal etc.  

You want players to be able to buy themselves into free agency?

Two guys that are (or will be) worth 9 figures giving their jerseys to the kids of another guy worth 9 figures. I'm having a hard time keeping it together. Those kids might just make it after all.

Yeah bro I already worded it for you.

Come in your trap, whip your ass, then give your HC's kids game-worn jerseys because we feel bad that your house burned down.

Can anyone ever just do something nice? Kid likes to collect stuff and just lost it all in a fire.

I'm not saying Wemby,CP,or the kids did anything wrong. I'm just stating it's a tone deaf tweet by the NBA considering the thousands of kids in the LA area in the same situation whose parents aren't worth 9 figures. Some kids were probably sleeping in cars last night, not court side at daddy's NBA game getting game worn jerseys.

Maybe the point is to inspire other people to do nice things and have compassion so that those other kids get help too.

So fine, have Wemby and CP give jerseys to kids whose folks aren't worth 9 figures. I found it tone deaf AF on the part of the NBA, you didn't. There's not much to argue here.

I get where you're coming from. I really do. But this was personal because former teammates Chris Paul and JJ Reddick are reportedly very close friends. It was a friend lifting the spirits of his friend's kids who just lost all of their sports memorabilia that they had been collecting their whole lives. I have a hard time viewing that as tone deaf, despite how wealthy they all are.
