Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 4222890, member: 6819"] Let's take it further. When the best players ultimately refuse to leave their foreign teams, effectively breaking their contracts, or the better players that are now in college refuse to live on 50K a year when foreign teams offer 10 times as much, how will the teams in this country grow their fanbase? The only way is to draft talent from local colleges and hope their fans migrate to the league. But what if the say, Chicago has the first pick and the best player available is from California. Then what? Will the owners and the NBA collude to position that player into a local market? [/QUOTE]
