Most NBA owners lose money. They want you in the Matrix imo.

Whatever money they're "losing" on a year to year accounting gets more than made up for through stadium deals and tv rights. Plus at any point they can sell the team for exponentially more than it was acquired for.

They make money; the owners claiming poor mouth are lying. Its an accounting trick that sports owners are able to tap into, which can turn profits into losses through a variety of means (owners can claim losses from other businesses and house them under their sports franchises, use big contracts as depreciating assets, etc).

Owners cooked the books to hustle a better deal for themselves. The players assoc. knew this, but they had little leverage, because they're black and their contracts are open to the public. There was a lot of public pressure on the "greedy" players to strike a deal.

LOL, notice how the owners are still giving out irresponsible contracts despite, supposedly, operating in the red. They just wanted as much of the pie as possible, in order to artificially cap their own financial irresponsibility and save themselves from themselves.

LOL @ the idea (bullshyt propaganda actually) that most NBA teams lose money.

Even if you were to lose money operating your squad every year, if you stayed the course and sold your team later you'll get the big time come up. I don't think there was ever an NBA team that didn't get sold for a lot more than what it was bought for (Bobcats being the exception).
