true, I realize that players will go where the $ is, but in addition to being on winning teams, I think a no. of them are learning that the grass is not always greener on the other side, e.g. Smoot. In recent years, teams are better at re-signing their players & I think players are realizing that going to another team for more $ doesn't guarantee success & happiness.
