This is just very bad for both players and the league. From an owners perspective, the player signed a contract and should fulfill it regardless of the quality of players around him. Take this to the extreme, what if the owners get together collectively and decide that they are not going to offer him any more contracts in the league in order to preserve the value of the league as a whole?
Again, the players have rights when it comes to deciding where they go and how much they are willing to take to play. But, a 30 team league that consists of a 2 or 3 super teams and 27 mediocre teams is not healthy.
Bottom line is that until it starts affecting someone's wallet, nothing will change. So for Mr. Joe Fan, all we can do is sit back and watch the show .... if we decide to.
