Can a NBA restricted free agent turn down a competing offer?

Posted by JD (aka Jason Dean) Jun 30 '19, 16:08

I know that current team can match but what if the player would prefer to play for current team instead of taking chance current team wouldn't match and thus end up having to go to team that they don't necessarily want play for

- Wait I read that wrong. Yes, they can reject it -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 16:09 3
  - They have to SIGN a competing offer to make it valid. So if a team says, hey we want you and want to pay you this, they can say nope. - Bacon Jun 30, 16:10 2
    - Ah...so the player has the choice to not sign the competing offer. Thanks -- nm - JD Jun 30, 16:12 1
      - Yeah in that way they are a free agent that direction to say no to any other teams. Only restriction is home team gets final say in keeping them. -- nm* - Bacon Jun 30, 16:13
