Terrible and nonsensical argument. I'd say if everyone on the roster performs well enough to deserve the kind of raise he wants, then it's a good problem to have.  We all know that that scenario will never occur.  So no, every player will not want a raise if you give one to Trey.  The team takes when players underperform.

You have to have your head buried pretty deep in the sand to suggest that what a top 5 player on the roster and elite player in the league does will impact "every player".  

In case you haven't been watching, almost every high end player in the league wants a raise when he outperforms his deal.  Most teams deal with this at some point.  It just happens to be our turn now.
