I think this is outdated. Players are staying more now. Mitchell re-signed with Utah, Luka re-signed with Dallas, Ja is almost certainly gonna re-sign with Memphis etc. Home teams have an advantage when it comes to $$$.People keep talking about small market teams losing people. Players are asking out of major markets too though. Bron left Miami. KD left the bay. Harden left Houston and NYC. CP3 left LA. Simmons left Philly. Kawhi left Toronto. A lot of those players are still in big markets but it doesn’t seem like the big market is what’s driving them.
Spurs won rings
Cleveland won a ring and were contenders in 07-10 and 14-18
Milwaukee won a ring and will be contenders
That being said, I don’t like the way Zion is handling this.
