Players aren't trying to force moves from successful teams to bad big market teams just because the market and location is better.

Also what proposals have I laid out bar supporting players utilizing their leverage as best they can to get the best situation for themselves?

A)  You can't bar that facet. Wanting to move to a larger market falls under that umbrella of "best situation for themselves."
It equates to a quality of life improvement to many players and a much, much deeper pool of endorsement dollars. 

b -  To your first sentence -  I'm forecasting that the small to large market move will become commonplace with the empowerment of players to move about the league. 

You obviously don't see that happening.  I feel it would happen to the point of instability for small markets. We can move on.

No I'm barring that facet as in "this is the only kind of proposal I made", not denying it's potential effects.  

I could see it happening too, but in my view the competitiveness of the old or new side will still be more important. I think the NBA and sport of basketball is way more conducive to just hunting out the best market/location and if the team happens to be good then so be it.

And yeah we've made our points fairly succinctly I feel
