    All the best players are always "injured". Nothing like watching a double header of the Nets backups playing the Sixers backups followed by the second team for the Lakers taking on the Clippers without Kawhi and George. Hard pass. I'd rather listen to Elise Woodward butcher a Husky softball game on the corpse of the P12 Network. I might tune in for the playoffs when all these legends will miraculously be nurtured back to health.

    Lakers v Clippers for the right to face the Nets

    Nothing else matters

    Definitely helps the chances of getting the Sonics back. Either they get desperate for cash and need an expansion team or they do the smart thing and move a team no one cares about to Seattle to boost ratings without diluting the league

    That's the exact problem with the league. It has always been top-heavy, but at least there were 4-5 teams in the West who all had an equal chance at earning the right to lose to Jordan. Rosters are way too imbalanced now, and the nature of the sport with small roster sizes and one player being able to significantly swing a team's odds makes it way too predictable. There is zero reason to watch the NBA until the conference finals this year.

    Expansion is coming sooner than later to recoup funds for existing owners

    Until they disconnect social justice from the NBA, they can fuck the fuck off. Haven't watched a game in years. Don't plan to start.

    NBA marketing is schizo, to me. Their athletes are 75% black, inner-city kids who it is safe to assume are 90% liberal. The owners (think) have to cater to them to keep them happy (personally I think the players would STFU and take the cash if the owners held their ground). Problem is that within the general public there is a much broader spectrum that they have to market their product to. Personally, I don't think there are enough woke socialists out there to keep the NBA afloat. Especiallky since those kinds of people tend to hate rich people.

    This is something that the NFL has mostly figured out, even with some of the placating they did last year.
