I get that players put in a ton of work and sacrifice to make it, and that most don't, but they do so knowing there's a huge potential payday as well as the fame and notoriety of being a pro athlete. But that also means you have to play along with the system to some extent (maybe until free agency) as part of the deal in order to maintain these leagues with huge revenues and player salaries.

They are playing within the system though. So I would bet that the guys who refuse to sign and force a trade are fine with how the system feels. The folks who say it does not feel right are the ones who want to change the system. Teams still have the right to just not sign them, something that teams do all the time.
