Everything you say is wrong. Not just this, either. You're telling us that the players have too much power, when they can't be paid more than a certain maximum rate, or less than a certain minimum rate, when they can't sign with the team they prefer when they're free agents, when the length of their contracts is limited, and so on. I think you're forgetting that the players are the base of this league and that everybody else, from the owners, to the manager, to the venues, to the fans, and the businesses that benefit from the NBA, are making their money on the player's backs.
