Master Baker
it is irrelevant because the actual bargaining they were doing was not based on being paid NBA salaries, one arrogant player running off at the mouth doesn't represent the actual ask. 99% of other players specifically said they aren't asking for NBA salaries, just a higher revenue split. but yes, let's take skylar diggins talking about the value she brings to a team and what it earns compared to a less value barnes who earns more as the negotiation the players were aiming forShe specifically used dudes name and salary as the basis of her argument. She also brought up his accolades in comparison to hers, so yes in her particular instance she was asking to get paid like NBA players because every player isn’t making $24 million a year like Barnes was at the time.
The Union is irrelevant to the point because I specifically referred to one player and not the league or union as a whole.
