Something has to be done, players can request for a trade if he does not want to play? That's really something. Simmons started it first then we now have Durant and Irving, so now the management are seeing that the players (superstars) are already abusing their right, it's not anymore favorable to the owners who invested a lot of money.

It has not been like this before, but today the players are like the owners of the teams. They are the one who calls who to trade and who to acquire because they have this high authority in the team. But thankfully this is only possible in the team who got superstar players like LBJ and the other teams are fine, they don't have this drama. The disadvantage of this is when the player they acquired is not as they expected, the fans will not leave them alone and will surely tease them with that.

True, their ego is growing bad because these superstars are getting entitled for themselves because of what they could potentially bring to the team as they have the right skill set. NBA will start to look bad and ugly if Adam Silver won't do such rule or move to lessen these kind of movements and the team which these superstars are on will be so unfortunate if ever they're players will start forcing a trade just because the line up is not suitable for them.
