Ok refund the premium portion of the ticket cost for load management. I'm not saying to refund the whole ticket because you got to see a game.
A Detroit home ticket vs Steph, Klay & Dray's Warriors gets priced substantially more than a game vs the Hornets, but when those stars don't play, their team looks just like the Hornets.
The premium charge is further amplified for inter-conference games where fans of that city will only see an opponent once a year, and whoever sets the initial price has kept this in mind.

They don't get this part at all. NBA more than any other team sport is star dependent. From the marketing to the pricing to referee calls, it's all based on the stars.

What are the negatives of having those athletes compete without a flag or national recognition? I truly don't see how this option could ruin the Olympics.
It's the same thing in tennis where some of the best players in ATP or WTA are from Russia/Belarus but I'd rather see them compete with no country beside their name than not compete at all.
