Because I don't disagree with the premise that it's unfair to the players...but if that happens, how will smaller markets or teams without top tier front offices be able to get talent?
This isn't some "poor owners" thing - I'm genuinely curious as to what a draft-less (or altered draft) solution even looks like. And I know you don't know either, as you said - but while I don't think any team is OWED a franchise player through a draft, and I don't think shitty organizations should be rewarded - I don't see how you keep 30 teams without a draft.
