Think about it this way--
A team has to exhibit loyalty if they expect loyalty in return.
We are finally inching towards a brotherhood within our players, and we want to go away from that? This is the new NBA, its all about unity. With a high turnover, you can't achieve that.
People have to think about the internal factors, not just the external.
If the asshole #2 maybe had a friend or two on his team, maybe he would have stayed. Instead, those teams had cliques and every time he was forming a bond, we got rid of his friends. Granted, they sucked... (J Simms and Dedmon)
Would you rather win with your brothers or win with a bunch of randoms and develop a prima donna at ude and start thinking you can do it on any team?
We want stars to stay, not go...
