NBA re-ups media rights with ESPN and Turner. Players take L.

[FTBS]

Brehs the smaller market teams do not help the nba/we as the consumer want to see NY LA CHI Boston flourish honestly. The nba isnt like the NFL where most fans are home body die hard. Its a reason why the hawks and bucks as well as other teams wont ever be on the caliber that these other destinations are. Also you have to take in NBA players are more visible so more money in advertising and you get that with the bigger markets.

SN.Players will opt out and hopefully they stand firm this time and get a good deal

Might as well contract then. No reason to have teams in 20+ cities if only 3 or 4 cities matter.
You dont wanna see Cleveland or OKC.

If I was a player I'd be making sure I was getting paid first and most

Players make the game go they need to act like it

The front office are employees of the players not vice versa

Like I always say ain't nobody coming to the arena or tuning in to watch the suits

Gm's owners and commissioners don't sell jerseys and merch

If I'm driving an industry fukk if I am the industry I'm entitled to the lion share of profits

But whatever*
