The Film
Room
Every play gets drawn up before the ball moves. Every deal should be too.

Study the film, then negotiate
Players break down film before every game. A contract gets the same treatment: the cap rules, the comparable deals and every option on the table are laid out before the first call.
- The rules. The collective bargaining agreement read clause by clause, not summarized.
- The comparables. What similar players signed, and why the terms differed.
- The options. Each path written down with its trade-offs, so the player decides.
Read the floor
Scroll draws the play: the ball screen, the roll, the swing and the corner three. Hover any player to see the role. A negotiation runs the same way, with every move set up before the ball moves.
The play: the point guard uses a ball screen, the screener rolls, the ball swings to the top and then to the corner for a three.
