What do Americans think about the fact that in US sports, players have no say if they get traded or not?

Not being familiar with american culture, this trade thing has always been weird to me. Like you might play for an NBA team for seven years, making friends in the city, your kids go to school there etc, and then suddenly from one day to another during the season some GM tells you: „listen, you have to move from Phoenix to Minnesota tomorrow. We traded you. Goodbye, have fun there!“

Is this well accepted by americans? Is it a case of „these players make a lot of money, so they should be ok with everything“?
