Guys entering portal with seemingly no eligibility left

[Eastside Forever]

So, a sports agent indicated those with seemingly no eligibility left are entering the portal for 2 reasons; 1), just in case litigation occurs that permits additional eligibility, and, 2), as a negotiation tactic with actual "professional" teams to obtain a guaranteed contract while the litigation and chaos swirls around the basketball world. Eg. If you draft me in the 2nd round and give me a 2 way contract, i will waive my right to claim additional eligibility.

Makes sense to me.

If you think threatening a future employer with a threat is a good tactic...

If they stay in the NBA draft they are definitely not eligible though, right?!?!

It doesn't hurt anything I suppose, but I don't understand how they gain any leverage if a litigation doesn't occur permitting additional eligibility.

They will get more money staying in school with NIL than getting a real job in the real world.

Or go to Europe tax free but I agree.

yeah, that’s why I said unless there is litigation granting additional eligibility. Without that litigation, there is no additional NIL.
