A little contraction would do the league well. Do you know anybody willing to pay full price for a ticket? Corporations are cutting back on this perk. But new age companies will emerge and will start gobbling up status symbol luxury boxes. Players will reject salary cuts. There will be a lockout. Couple franchises will go under. Just a normal business cycle. Nothing special about sports franchises. Like all businesses some make it some don't

I haven't gone to an NBA game in 3 years and have no plans to go soon. The NBA is dead. You don't even see kids wearing the team clothes/player jerseys as you did 10 years ago.Comment -
Up and down, like life. This is market economy, every team has got to fend for themselves and try to turn a profit once again. If that means they can't sign players then that's what they have got to do.Comment -
Never have and never will go to an NBA game. I'd rather go to a mariners baseball game then attend one of these (I have actually with the fam, it was a good time).
have attended dozens of CBB games and love the atmosphere. NFL is king in this country and a bunch of spoiled thugs that don't want to play D and 1/2 the season is irrelevant will never catch on. Plus they let half the league into the playoffs and now that they bring guns to the games, who knows if one of them snaps (there is quite a few crazies) I could get shot.
Now that being said I love betting it, and have done very well over the last few years. I just can't stand watching it.Comment -
A lockout is absolutely inevitable bc the current agreement is absolutely horrible for the league and the players association will not use enough common sense to understand that they're not going to accept 400 million losses each year just so the players can get 5 mil a year to dunk a basketball instead of 2.5, the truth is they could pay these guys half or probably much less of what they're makin and have no problem getting them back on the court within a year bc most of them are livin paycheck to paycheck even the ones makin 10 mil a year, between the 40% uncle sam gets and the money they just flat out blow, the luxury cars and multiple mansions and the child support payments from the 10 kids from hos they fuked on the road etc most of these idiots have absolutely no cash whatsoever and will be flat broke in a couple years after the NBA checks dry up
See these guys figure fuk it I make 10 mil a year what the hell do I need to save money forComment -
Y'all are making it seem like the NBA is actually LOSING money. They're just not making the extra 400 million dollars, as usual. It's not an actual loss, it's just not the prospected gain.
Complete bullshit stats, noone knows what they're talking about..Comment -
people have been brain washed to actually care about the nba or any other sport. i could give two shits about any of them and if i didn't utilize them to wager on and make money i wouldn't even know what any of them were. it is way out of control the way these clowns are paid, and it isn't just professional athletes. as of now you could give me free tickets to a game.Comment -
