Plenty of players without families get NMCs too. In fact, I'd say most superstars get them, long before they families or kids. NMC give the players huge amounts of control. The bigger factor, especially from an agent's and financial perspective, is will you put up points on the team you are playing on. There are many situations where players would get traded to bad situations and see their production fall, and lose out on the ability to control their situation.
Players also almost always waive their NMCs, but just not to play in situations that will be career killers.
