You morons who keep saying the guys in the 80s were loyal and wouldn't change teams is bullshit. Unrestricted free agency didn't start until 1988. The first major superstar wave of free agency came after the 1995-96, which Shaq took off to Los Angeles, Mourning got paid big and Juwan Howard got a monster deal. What those guys say for sound bites is bullshit as well. If they had the chance many of them would have done exactly what the guys of today are doing. Horace Grant left Chicago to ring chase in Orlando, which didn't work but it's same shit that is going on today.
