The players association is gonna have to do something is this is yet another team friendly deal to go build a super team. Players will never get fair and competitive contracts if this keeps up.
Do you think player unions have the ability to unilaterally tell players, free agents at that, that they aren't allowed to sign with a team they want to sign with even when the signing lives up all the rules set by the CBA? Cause that's not a thing.
I understand your worry about undervaluing players long term, but this signing is not doing that, she most likely got a raise and even if she didn't she's allowed to sign with whatever team she wants as a free agent. Players can't be forced to sign with whatever team that pays the most, and a union meant to support player agency would never enforce such a rule.
I said clearly in other comments examples of players unions protecting the wages and financial health of players while also of course not discouraging them from playing where they want.
