Wrong big games ratings may be going up like the finals and premier match up but overall ratings and attendance are down. So unless the NBA is OK with viewers only being interested in 2 teams while the 28 others ratings and attendance continue to drop they are in great shape. Silver even came out last year stating his dislikes all the stars teaming up thinking its better for the league's talent to be dispersed.

Agreed 504.
The concentration of talent is only going to help the marquee matchups. Outside of that fans will grow disillusioned and disinterested if they are on the outside looking in at the super teams dominating everyone else. And if what you say is right it is already happening.
With that said I kind of think there is no way the next CBA is signed without something very close to a hard cap. Maybe some sort of exception but it will not be like now.
Realistically it is the best option right now to reduce the trend and stop this vicious cycle.

what can you do if the players agree to take less money or flexibility to join up?
