The NBA has always been thrived when a)there was an active dynasty/ies; and b)always thrived with the Lakers and Celtics in the news...
There will be another dynasty coming soon, there always is. Maybe it's Denver, maybe it's someone else. But there'll be another one soon. Dynasties ramp up engagement for folk rooting against them, and folk rooting for them drawing more bandwagon fans and haters alike...
So that part will take care of itself. San Antonio was an offbrand market that turned into a dynasty. The market don't really matter if there's a dynasty that increases engagement. Denver isn't even a small market nor an offbrand location, it's the biggest city in the country between East Texas and Phoenix, that's a wide swath of land, coverage, people. I've seen Broncos fans in Idaho and both northern and southern Utah. No one thinks Denver is some offbrand market the way these dudes talking in the video
...
The five smallest NBA cities are, in order, New Orleans, Salt Lake, Memphis, Oklahoma City, and Milwaukee. The NBA will be fine if a dynasty emerged from one of them. Dynasties have always carried this league, and another dynasty is coming soon enough...
The other part that many brothers hit on, is the NBA shyts on its teams as far as marketing. It's always been too Laker and Celtic reliant. The Knicks and Sixers get decent coverage even when bad, I guess so do the Texas squads over the last half-decade. Miami is actually under-marketed, given they've been the premier East team for a quarter century AND are in major market. The League has to decentralize its coverage of being so dependent on Boston and the Lakers...

Feel like if Antman was on a better team it would be him.

neither of them have a game that can trenscend basketball. Curry revolutionized the 3 point and make the casuals watch because of that. Lebron was already a generational start before in came in the lead with generational talent. Neither Tatum or Booker are anywhere close to being generational for general public to care. That Kardashian connect for Booker won't cut it.

if Zion wasn't injured it would have been him. but I actually think Wemby could be the first foreign player to be marketable since Yao if he lives up to the hype. he's ways better looking than Jokic, Giannis and Luka. he could be sold as a 7'5 freek of nation with game like a wing man. plus he comes from a big western country unlike the other 3.

Guys that tall dont tend to hold up well. From Sampson on down the line. I wouldn't stake my future to him if I'm the NBA, chances are he's a really good player more than a generational one...

I'm speaking in the terms of if injury wasn't the case. or else I wouldn't have listed Zion either. I know he comes with health risk, but if no injury, my eye test tells me Wemby will be generational. no doubt.

And the NBA is no where near the money making machine that the NFL is because the NBA has curated their fans and media. Nfl fans loved dominate teams too and dynasty and I say that as a 49er fan and guess what the nfl said yeah we deading that and created an environment of parity and said the media will cover everyone. That is why the nfl is worth twice as much as the nba.

It’s not because football is in the DNA of the country and not because the NBA promotes stars only.
The NBA, before 1980 was comfortably behind MLB and was closer to the NHL in popularity And revenue.
Obviously it’s not that way anymore.
The NBA’s most popular periods are defined by the best player being on the most dominant team.

They love parity in the NFL. And in the NFL it doesn't matter where the top QBs play or who the top teams are, really. Aside from a few small markets, most of the NFL teams have major fan bases.
The NBA decided a long time ago to market players instead of teams. They'll be fine though. There's always someone up next.
