::I do think that the players/employees distinction needs to be clarified; as I mentioned above, there are numerous non-player employees who make the franchise run. Further, if the limit were merely a reflection of economic reality, we would expect that most teams would still have 12 players on their roster (which was the limit until a few years ago). I think there's another factor in that the limit prevents teams from buying up players primarily to keep them from playing elsewhere. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 06:41, 2 April 2013 (EDT)

::'''EDIT''' After further research, I may be wrong on a few points (teams may be required to have exactly 13 on the roster by the CBA). But I think that the NBA CBA has so many nuances and limitations on franchises' freedom to set the number of players on their roster that it's really not a good example for teaching high school students.

:::In most professional sports, exclusivity clauses (meaning one franchise cannot negotiate or talk to or attempt to steal someone under contract to another franchise) does not apply to players alone. Couches, training staff, some management and PR people cannot speak with other franchises until they reach free agent status. Violations of these agreements usually ends up the aggrieved party being compensated. And the compensation is not necessarily monetary. Hence you've heard of deals where one franchises is awarded draft choices for a coach (Bill Parcells going from NE to the Jets, for example). [[User:OscarO|OscarO]] 16:41, 2 April 2013 (EDT)
