Australian basketball star Andrew Bogut says hes a players first guy but admits AFL clubs are being held to ransom under the codes current trade period format.Dallas Mavericks Bogut, an Essendon fan, found himself at the mercy of the NBAs free agency system, where players can be traded without consent, after Kevin Durant nominated Golden State Warriors as his preferred destination at the end of last season.Durants arrival in San Francisco meant the Warriors had to clear up salary cap space and Bogut soon found himself in the blue and white of the Mavericks.Look its tough, Im in an industry where you dont get any choice but Im in an industry where you get paid a lot of money to play sport, Bogut told SEN Breakfast.Look it is disappointing when you get traded, and youve got to kind of and pack a bag and just go to the next city. But at the same time, whats happening in the AFL is not fair to the clubs either, where [players] are trying to pick and choose where they want to go on demand and be traded somewhere. Thats not fair either.In the recent AFL Trade Period, there were cases where players got their wish and were traded to their desiired destinations, including Jordan Lewis [Melbourne] and Jaegar OMeara [Hawthorn], while Carlton and Adelaide were unable to find common ground for Bryce Gibbs to return home to South Australia.ddddddddddddAsked whether the AFL would eventually have to follow the NBAs lead and allow clubs to trade players without their consent, thus wrestling back some of the power, Bogut said: I think its going to have to be a discussion...Im a big player first guy, like Id always put players first.But thats one instance where I agree with clubs that theyre kind of being held out on a ransom where its like hey, I want to go to Gold Coast...but they might not have anyone that the club wants or might not want to pay for anyone on the Gold Coast; they dont have any players that we find suitable for our list.So all of a sudden theyre [clubs] rail-roaded into making a deal they dont want to make just because a players not happy.So look I think in the grand scheme of things, I think its eventually going to have to be looked at.
