On July 17, according to NBA salary expert Bobby Marks, Bill directly lost the veto power of the transaction after being bought out by the Suns, and James became the only one who took the initiative to own the clause in active service.

Bobby Marks posted that the NBA trade veto is an additional clause in a player's contract, giving players the special right to refuse teams' trades to other teams. In history, only 10 people have voluntarily obtained the right to use this clause, namely James, Garnett, Anthony, Nowitzki, Kobe, Wade, Duncan, David Robinson, Stockton and Bill. James has obtained it twice, and the remaining 9 people are once, which is truly the only person in history.

James Wear the Crown Action Currently, there are 2 players in the NBA who have this clause in their active service. In addition to James, there is also Magic player Wagner, but the latter is in a different situation than James. The NBA contract stipulates that players who have been playing for the same team for two consecutive years can urge early bird clauses, and automatically obtain the trade veto when signing a short contract for another year to prevent the bird rights from being invalid due to transactions. Great Wagner has played for Magic for many years and signed a short contract renewal of 1 year and annual salary of 5 million this summer. Hayes, an inside player who had signed a one-year short contract renewal with the Lakers, also has the right to veto the transaction, but Hayes voluntarily gave up the right after the signing was completed.

Conclusion

James was able to obtain the veto of the transaction twice, which was due to his top basketball level and influence, and he was worthy of being the number one person in the league today!
