NBA as we know it.. Is done

They are the core components of the product you see on TV, so yes, they are the product.

Do you smart-dumb nikkas not understand that these players are salaried and contractually obliged to perform? Do you not understand that they have a LABOR union that lobbies for improved conditions (i.e. salary) from their employers?

 

[Cynic]

I don't get why we counting these billionaire owners pockets.

They been caking off the players since the nba inception paying the players pennies of what they are really worth. Most of these owners have no talent and has never done anything for the league outside of exploit some young dudes talents for their own gain and profit and then come out in cowboy boots and a do the right thing t shirt during the trophy presentation and hoist the trophy like they had anything significant to do with it.

If anything the owners deserve this slap in the face for putting us through that lock out.

Let them young nikkas move that dope. ...

You cannot run a team at a loss...

Yes players are valuable but so are profits.

no one is disagreeing with that. All I'm saying is that the players are not just the workers, but that they are the product as well. That's all

i'm done here. enjoy your holiday weekend dude.

You literally said this...

your point is that TV is making the NBA popular,

Not even a child would draw such a conclusion. What an embarrassingly stupid remark.

They are the product? Where can they be bought? How much are they going for?

you are thinking semantics when you know exactly what I'm saying trying to overcomplicate shyt. Players are both the employees and product in sports leagues. Dunno why you trying to be hard headed about the shyt. But go ahead.

Not every player is in the game for the objective of max contracts. There are some who want to carve a legacy out for themselves in NBA history and win championships.

And it is messing up the books and messing up the team. When you see a decrease in revenue from ticket sales it leads to a decrease in profitability. When people are not enthused to watch a team perform, its revenue streams decrease (unless they are from a major market).

Profitability and popularity skyrocketed without max contracts. The boogeyman shyt u spittin has no basis. Legacy and chips wouldnt be as attractive minus the millions. U see even those most concerned about legacy and what not still get their bread.

This salary increase is horrible for the game. Players are receiving contracts on an outrageous level (not worth it) and getting paid like baseball players. The league that we use to love regarding trades and free agent signing is no-more and this benefit small market teams the most.

You better look at some Major League Baseball contracts. Now those are some outrageous contracts, but no one is saying word.

Nah it's cool, just weird. Aminu is absolute trash tho. He must be letting downlow GMs fukk or something cause I don't get it. For Portland to sign him is confusing as fukk. Son is just useless

He played well in the playoffs, so there was a bit of recency bias in play.

Plus the Blazers GM is the one who drafted him in LA

It's like no one knew this but you. Thank you.
