Every fanbase believes that their stars are special, and are open to taking a home team discount in order to help the team win.
The reality however, is that every player has an agent, and those agents have clients in every city, and have to negotiate with every GM. Agents STRONGLY push their clients away from settling - it is bad for the market overall. The message is always the same and always clear: your career is short, and an injury could cut it short at any time - you MUST get what you are worth. The team shouldn't need you to compromise in order for them to win, and the players on every other team are not compromising. So you shouldn't either.
