Who wants to play in Milwaukee when they could play in LA or NY for the same price? Reggie White choosing to sign with the Packers would like a word with you. It's less common for someone to want to play in a small market, but it's not true. That might be the case with the NBA and everybody wanting to play for Golden State, but it's not always the case. Different teams have different amounts of cap space available, and that determines how much a team can pay. LA or New York might not have the cap room that a smaller market team would have available, that's how the smaller market teams can compete for free agents. By limiting what the richer, larger market teams can spend so there's a level playing field. Players will follow the money, and the only way you give those smaller markets a chance is by giving them the same opportunities, which they don't have without a cap because of what you mentioned. Look at the NFL. Players don't all go to one team, or large markets. Jimmy Graham chose Green Bay over New Orleans. Players choose to play in Cleveland because the team has so much cap space they can pay more. If the NFL had no salary cap, Dallas would be like the Yankees because Jerry would spend whatever he needs to win. But he can't, because that isn't allowed in the NFL. --- FFBE IGN Raiden.
