Owners dont give a crap about the talented players.

The question is what can players do about it?

Not mad at NBA management. Because at least this is balanced off by players being able to control their destinies from time to time (see LeBron and KD). Nothing like how the NFL uses its players.

I wouldn't mind being "mistreated" like that if I made tens of millions every year.

No not really they make enough money so they really shouldn’t complain

Yeah but I’d rather be in San Antonio than Toronto...

So many of our institutions are founded on discrimination, extortion and exploitation. Instead of critiquing the ethics of a team, let’s question the morality of the capitalism we support that entitles teams (corps) to turn any and everything into a commodity.

So what about when a player says they want to retire with a certain team and leaves. These things happen. Sucks, but it's the nature of the business. The Raptors reached their ceiling with Derozen and Lowry. They weren't going to get any better. I'm ok with the trade.

It’s a business unfortunately
