Besides the rules of basketball there is no point in trying to compare.
Besides the rules of BB, managing, market behavior, etc. which this game is all about, there is nothing to compare...
Basically you are raising the "nothing to compare a game and real-world" "claim", whenever there is no reason not to use the way it is in the real-world.
A behavior in the real-world might not be good for a game, but their needs to be a justification for that.
Saying this is a game and not a real-world, is just saying nothing, when clearly there is nothing to say to contradict that it fits the game and needed.
