With a cap and luxury tax’s that prevent signing FAs there’s only so much money to go around

Unless you cap rookie salaries .

It has to be total free market . If a big market wants to sign the top draft pick to a 30 million $ contract it just means they aren’t signing someone else

The biggest issue is if all teams can’t spend to the cap - the low market teams can’t have cheap controllable players (which is a different argument if that’s even a “fair” model for players
