Yall think Adam Silver is dumb. I think the NBA engages its fans better than any other league on Earth. If he thought the competitve balance would damage the league, he would have done something about it. But, we're hooked and he knows it.
Now you're tuned just to see what happens if the best team implodes again and makes more history.
The Lakers could've got away with the CP3 trade in this environment. I think the Heat experiment turned out better than they could've imagined.
Again, there's nothing to suggest so far that dominant teams are bad for business. You can't apply the MLB or NFL model to basketball. It doesn't work like that.
