[W.HI.P]

these players recieve a considerable amount of money and are all under contract to a franchise.
if the franchise wants to draft gerhart, they're gonna draft him, and they're gonna lose as many games as it takes to draft him.
players don't make these decisions, they do whatever the fuck they're told to do by the hand that feeds them.

but this topic is not so much about how a franchise is run, rather how there is something greater which overides all owners and franchises, and that of course, is the money of gambling, which is simply overwhelming, and in result, controls the result of any game on any given day.
