I understand both sides but this still is unfair to the small market teams.
Big market teams could take a stand and eat that 100k per game.
A small market team like the Pels though? They probably cant stand to lose 100k per game, especially knowing the fan base is going to lose interest for the rest of this season.
The thing the Pelicans need the most, as an organization not the team, is an exciting player thats gonna sell tickets.
Tatum so far is the most exciting name being thrown around and hes not really much of an exciting player himself.
Tough position for yall.
