I know this is going to be super unpopular, but when looking at loyalty and the different scales of it, I feel this is one thing which baseball has nailed, tons of homegrown stars, Judge, Trout, Acuna, among others. But you still have the big free agent splashed and big trades, i.e. Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Giancarlo Stanton, Jaun Soto. In the NBA at this point, players move around so often there’s no point getting attached to anything, it’s all very tenuous and players force themselves out of teams all the times, which just makes contracts feel unimportant.
