People already dont GAF about the NBA when the NFL is on. You're talking about starting the season during the heart of the MLB playoff playoffs, CFB, and the NFL.
Vince Carter summing up the whole 82 game “problem”
- Thread starter High quality poster
- Start date
The money would possibly have to get since the salary cap is based on revenue. Unless they can maintain the revenue
What you’re thinking is how I’m thinking about TMac like is he that much bigger than Melo? But him and Maria are closer to the camera and Maria likely wearing heels tooLace up those shoes and play
Side note: probably just the camera angle, but how tall is Maria
A lot of stuff that worked in 1946 doesn't work now 
. Orgs are all about their bottom line. Having guys play 82 or even close is obviously not making enough of a difference. Players played back in the day because there was no alternative. Owners, coaches, and fans have provided that alternative. Owners all about their money. Coaches all about having their best guys when it counts. Players getting paid either way and stand to make more the longer they can stick around. Not to mention their bodies being run into the ground for free before they stepped into the league. And since you do have superior skillsets and athletes out there doing more the game is more taxing as well.
Kerr is a Pop guy. Pop started this shyt and people stay overlooking that. Kawhi took it to its zenith or nadir depending on your perspective and people crowned him. Once a nikka load managed to a chip, it was a wrap.
Aint nothing changing unless fans demand it. That includes actually appreciating the regular season as its own entity, not one big prologue to the playoffs. Fans buying into rings culture and nothing else matters but winning in June (along with way too many teams getting in) is responsible for teams being about the regular season. Its also responsible for tanking. Teams are blatantly throwing entire seasons and fans rock with it in hopes of getting that next superstar that can eventually get them in contention instead of demanding the best possible product. While I am on my soapbox...the draft is some bullshyt in principle and the way the do it only makes it worse.

More Running Around + Sports Science, Sports Medicine, Billionaire owners catering to your whims, chartered flights etc
or
Less Running Around + Physical Play, smoking in the locker room etc
Cut it to 70 games and within 5 years they’ll be asking for even less
The NFL, the most physically taxing league in America, is looking for ways to add games!
It’s bad enough The NBA is getting curb stomped by football but to willingly concede games to them on top of that?? lol
Silver should allow some sort of condition where teams are allowed to deploy their top guys as they see fit for 6 games. Everybody else on the squad should feel lucky to be in the league
This is definitely first world 70 mil a year and rising we eatin good problems

Have you ever personally watched games Ac green played it? His role and style of play will provide alot of context of why he was able to pull that off.
He wouldn't even make the league today smh. N that's not a diss

How would such be expressed to the league? Ratings is one of several metrics, but how can there be bottom - up articulation of why in particular people are losing interest
Lol they'll add games before they'll take them away jus like the Nfl
That imagination can be taken all the way off the table
Just like these unnecessary expansion visions is going to add even more quality issues. These outfits are cancers seeking to continually expand NOT contract

Rest In Power Kobe
Ratings and attendance. These tanking teams should be playing in empty arenas. Clips fans shoulda been rioted over this Kawhi foolishness, instead they supporting a new arena.
Neither the players nor the owners want the reduction in revenue that reducing the RS schedule would bring.
Oldschooler
All Star
The real reason players want to rest is because it improves their chances of extending their careers. They make more $$$ money in the end because of it. Obviously based on probabilities. That's a bad take by Vince he knows but just don't want to say it cause it's too controversial. When your star player is making $40-50 million per year and even your bench or 4th option guys are getting huge contracts like what VC and TMac were getting back then. Extending playing career is the main goal.
Lace up those shoes and play
Side note: probably just the camera angle, but how tall is Maria
She's 6'2" breh lol
Played sports in college. Don't let her throw some heels on too
If you playing 82 games plus four 7 game playoff rounds you are gonna run into other sports...its unavoidable. And its not an either or thing. NBA has proven it can thrive alonside those other sports. The focus should be whats best for your game rather than avoiding other sports. That said, I have been saying they should start on Christmas and run the summer. They had a perfect opportunity and passed on it.
This is true but it doesn't matter if the billionaires weren't even more focused on the bottomline.
