You do know that the teams actually pay these guys money, and that the players can negotiates for more money, right?
I am aware that NBA are not volunteers, yes.

I am also aware that certain cities provide opportunities for additional money and things to do.

When was the last time Charlotte, Milwaukee, or Memphis were in the mix for a major FA? Greg Monroe? Wow what a treat

Yea when the difference is maybe 1-2 Millions dollars, the top tier rookies are going to command more than an amount that the big markets will perpetually have available, they're not going to give up like $4M a year to go to LA instead of Milwaukee

If its a difference between 16M and 12M i think they would, considering they would already be getting triple the amount that rookies get nowadays. Let me ball with Lonzo and get all the passes i can get for 12M instead of watching Howard complain about not getting enough touches for 16M in Charlotte

So Charlotte is the only team that can offer $16M?
 
And these are guys who haven't made a dime yet, most, if not all, are going to take the money where they can get it. Besides it's not 4$ they're giving up in this completely hypothetical scenario, it would be $16M total

Tell me one premiere FA not named Lebron that signed with a team that was either not a big market or not a winning franchise

You mean the free agents that are getting the same amount of money wherever they go? With the exception of resigning.
 
How have you completely missed the point that different teams will value rookies differently

I swear youre arguing for the sake of arguing, because you dont even make sense. How do FAs make the same money across the league, but rookies wouldnt? That literally does not make any sense at all. You say different teams will value rookies differently, but thats no different from Free Agency at all: its a bidding system. Itd be exactly the same thing

You’re talking about premier free agents so don’t try and flip this to apply to all free agents. I’m assuming the premier free agents are all max players, no matter what team they go to they will get a max contract. That wouldn’t be the case with rookies, only the best of the best rookies (AD, KAT etc.) would come close to commanding a rookie max contract, every other rookie would likely be negotiating the terms of their rookie deal, so if a team in day Milwaukee wants a player really bad because of what they’ve seen they will offer more money than other teams. 
 
Yea it’s exactly like free agency, that’s the whole point of this. This is something that benefits smart teams, if you’re team wants to do something stupid like pay a lot of rookies a lot of money you are deservedly going to suck, if you’re smart about how you construct your roster and manage your cap then you’ll field a competitive team. 
 
Got it?
