Larkin Trade Buzz Adds More Fuel to Player Empowerment Debate

Any time a star name enters trade chatter, the conversation around player control gets louder fast. The latest reaction around Larkin is not just about one possible move - it is about how much leverage players have in a league that still pretends the old rules are the only rules. That tension has been building for years, and every new rumor puts it back in the spotlight. The bigger issue is how front offices adapt when the players start steering the conversation as much as the teams do.
