Superstar
Everyone gets paid the same amount in the playoffs



how?
Owners taking a higher share from players during a lockout is not a problem, but lower tier players taking a higher share is a problem![]()
Damn yall boys lack understanding
We dont give a fukk about these owners, they could go bankrupt for all we care
We want superstars to make more. Roleplayers dont even have to make less, we can just increase superstar pay.
Paul millsap should not be able to make 3 million less than lebron
a couple of years ago and this contract the Knicks gave
and I am the biggest Kobe and Melo fan. But Tristan Thompson making money like that come
on now. I also do think that Lebron is always underpaid. You cant put a number on what a guy like that does for your team.
we need to apply this to regular jobs
have entry level people making half as much as the company ceo![]()

NBA is about to become the biggest sport in North America.
Concussions/deflategate/oversaturation/changes to the way defenses can cover wideouts are chipping away at the pillars of salt the NFL insisted on building it's house upon.
The contrast between how seriously the NFL takes itself, and yet it's posterboy is a CHEATER... compared to the wholesome Steph Curry and his run to being a champion. There are watershed moments that just... happen.. in sports. Someday, people will look back at this season and point to it as the pivot point when the NFL started dropping and the NBA started rising.
Paying players more money and letting the "small markets" (historically bad teams?) compete is not a BAD thing in this context.
Now it's just time for the league to fix: the divisions/the schedule/whoe makes the playoffs/how the playoffs are seeded/the lottery and the draft/expansion into seattle/a 32nd north american team/and eventually global expansion.
Quite frankly: Silver is the man, but he needs to start leading, and stop asking everyone around him for advice.
This is the most pivotal 10 year period in NBA history. I hope he realizes that.
Change in average attendance has been pretty negligible:no TV sales/revenue without popularity and butts in seats.
top performers get top pay. its like that in most businesses.
Casual fans will never get interested enough in an 82 game season
