Depends on the contract. Some of the contracts with huge signing bonuses become impossible to trade given the cap hit the trading team would incur. So a team just can not trade the guy. Some of those contracts are way too high so no one is going to want them.
Deshaun is sort of a exception then the rule. Not much a signing bonus.
Further the thing the NBA has is max contracts and no cap hit to the trading team. So a team can easily decide if the player is worth a max contract or not. Further a lot of those contracts are short periods and at the end of those contracts they can walk. So a guy with 1-2 years left tells team trade me now or you get nothing. That is compelling.
If the guy is in the NFL you can look at him and say nah we will just franchise you for a couple more years.
What is Deshaun's options for not getting traded? Not report? OK. Report and not try? MMM unlike the NBA good chance you get hurt if not by the other team, your own team.
