The New Economics of the NBA

Obviously as a small market team, there are increasing concerns about whether the Bucks can compete with the big boys in New York, LA, Chicago, Miami, etc. This article focuses on why a player might leave from a small market to a bigger market, from an economic standpoint. Check out the equally excellent 2nd part as well, which details the problems with the NBA salary cap.

I have a feeling the NBA is going to create a franchise tag (modeled on the NFL), and possibly include compensatory draft picks for losing key free agents (modeled on the MLB).

They have to do something to ensure small-market teams have an equal (or at least a comparable) opportunity to stay competitive.
