This is either untrue or inconsequential. The smallest market teams have been better than the largest market teams in the past decade.


And all those teams(OKC, San Antonio, GSW, POR, etc) have built through the draft while big market teams(LA's, NY, MIA, etc) havr built through the FA market.

If giving everybody the same draft picks over a 30 year period is what keeps a small market team from succeeding, then there is no reason for its market to have an NBA franchise.



The point of an NBA franchise is to be profitable, namely through winning the championship. However you can stilk be profitable with a team unlikely to ever win a championship. There are few cities(LA, Chi, Mia, Hou, etc.) that have enough of a market to make money to pay the tax and attract free agents. Everyone else just has to try to keep up.
