Can someone explain this new tv deal thing to me?

Will NBA be on more channels? Did ESPN and TNT have to pay the NBA more to air the games?

Man honestly everyone that signed so far is above average at best, straight B team.

If the owners are willing to drop cash like this I wonder how much of a raise they're getting themselves

Remember when Mike Conley was just an afterthought as Greg Oden's college teammate???
Gotta love it

Prolly a dumb question, but since the cap is rising over the next couple of years, couldn't that shyt fall as well. What if it dropped to like 85-90 mil over the next 3-5 years. How fukked are some of these teams gonna be?
Wouldn't matter anyway, because the NBA doesn't have a hard cap like the NFL does. You're allowed to go over the cap.

Even back when the cap was only like 60 mil, there were teams that had 100 million dollar payrolls

There's probably only 5 teams in the league that aren't deathly afraid of the tax tho
