GM X FROM TEAM Y ANSWERS: Hello?
ALEX SMITH'S AGENT: Hi, is this GM x?
GM X: Yes.
AGENT: This is AGENT 0, I represent Alex Smith.
GM X: Speak of the devil! We are about to trade for ol' Alex.
AGENT: Yeah, he's not gonna play for you.
GM X: Uh... he's under contract for two years. He has to.
AGENT: He will never sign an extention with you. He will have a "nagging shoulder injury" that sidelines him all season. He won't do any voluntary workouts. And after one miserable season, he will sit out until you release him.
GM X: Okay, thanks, bye.
