With the latest player (Carmelo Anthony) demanding to go the New York Knicks the NBA will have tough decisions in seasons coming. It seams like the majority of the top players want to play in these major markets it seems like the smaller markets will have it rough time trying to fill the seats and win games. With out the lack of a superstar will the smaller markets be able to compete on the court and in ticket sales? my answer is no they won't be able to compete selling tickets but on the court I think they will be fine. I think if you select a group of players that are willing to by in a good system and are hard-workers they will definitely be able to complete. Just look at the Philadelphia Sixers they don't have a "superstar" but they have solid young players that are bought into a good Doug Collins system. They will not be the best team on paper but they will show up and use their youth to try to out work you.
Honestly I don't think that the league should do anything about this yet because this isn't a major problem yet. I think that the players should be able to chose where they want to play, my only problem is when all the "superstars" are all going to the same team or all in the same conference. When this happens the league is less competitive as a whole.
