[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 983667, member: 17987"] Yep, that's more or less my feeling. Not only does Love not really have any leverage against GB to try and force their hand...but it doesn't really do anything to aid his image for other teams, either. As I said before: it's one thing if one of your star players tries to force a trade or threatens to hold out - it really hurts your team if a guy like Rodgers or Davante or Tyreek or whoever says they won't play for you; that's one of your key players. It's another thing when it's a backup; you don't really lose much by having them potentially hold out. In the same way... it's one thing if you're considering a trade for a star player who's holding out from his current team. That's a bit of a headache but the talent makes it worth it. Like, if you're wanting to trade for Tyreek Hill or someone you might think it's a bit of a knock on the player that he's holding out on his current team and fear that he might do the same to you...but he's a mega-star player and a total game-changer. Teams are going to be perfectly willing to take the chance on him because of the potential benefit. But when that's a less proven/established player those teams are going to be a lot more hesitant to deal. Teams will put up with a lot of sh*t if it means getting/keeping a star player; others are going to have *considerably* less "leash" afforded to him. While a team might be willing to stomach that sort of headache from an all-pro type of player, they're going to be a lot less tolerant of it coming from a player who's been a backup for his career thus far. That's not to say that nobody would want to touch Love if he threatened a holdout but I suspect he would not have a ton of options on the table, either. Plenty of teams will likely look at that and decide they'd rather not bother; they'll just get a player on a rookie contract or something for cheaper with less risk. [/QUOTE]
