The NHLPA and NBAPA would be furious if star players started doing this en masse. That act would entirely undermine their entire efforts and all players salaries as a whole.
So rich after fans and media proclaimed and predicted discounts would be taken to stay with the team a couple months ago

And then the organization talks about a culture of "taking less for the team".

But ever since the extension: pLaYeRz ShOuLd TaKe zErO dIsCoUnTs!

Yall's gymnastics and goal post moving knows no limits.
