Who else skips through his ads 😅
-
the problem with the new CBA is that it punishes teams that draft and develop well because there is no salary tax exceptions for players that you drafted.
-
To keep dynasties together, they might have to introduce some sort of loyalty benefit, where if you kept a player over X number of years, a discount can be applied for their salary against the cap.

I think a big part of the ratings problem is people are watching on illegal streams😅
-
No gambling ads on this one! 😃

franz wagner 200 million contract its insane
-
Funny how the lowest TV rating was in 2020 lol. Literally had the most amount of people sitting at home in front of their TVs!
-
The biggest issue with all major sports is rigging/fixing/manipulation. With legal gambling, it becomes even more apparent
-
I don’t really have a problem with dynasties. In fact, I like it. People only hate it when it’s not their team. The lame part is that once a team heats up, they’re gonna get cut off at the knees. That means that good teams will now have a very small championship window before they have to be broken up.

That’s not even why the Knicks couldn’t keep Hartenstein. They could keep him because of Early Bird rights
-
It just means that the role players are gonna have more championships than the superstars. Look at KCP and Jrew Holliday Two championships which is more than their superstar counterparts. Were gonna see role players getting more championships because they’re changing teams more frequently. That’s what the new CBA is going to do in the next decade. And role players getting more championships than the superstars it’s not good for the NBA.

I dont think that the quality of the NBA product has a direct effect on ratings. As a college student i enjoy watching basketball game and media surrounding it, but mostly through youtube or restreams. The NBA product is the most inaccessible its been since the 70s most likely. Basketball is a fast growing sport among people, something coveted by the other major sports, but young people dont have expensive cable plans or league pass. While i dont know for sure, i would hazard a guess that a graph of nba finals ratings would mirror a graph of household cable adoption. Rising in the 80s/90s, hitting a plateau in the 2000/2010s and shrinking with the rise of streaming.

The Isiah Hartenstein comparison is a little inaccurate. The Knicks could've kept all three of the players you listed. They couldn't keep Hartenstein because of Early Bird Rights or something to that effect that limited them on their offer to 4 years $72m regardless of what other teams offered.
-
People don't want parity of champions, people want parity of the chase. It's like in professional wrestling, a great heel drives interest even though everyone "hates" the heel. The chase is the thrill and the championship is the apex. A dynasty with multiple challengers falling and then some new team takes them down a few years down the line is good for national interest.

Knicks couldn’t sign iHart because the early but rights limited the max amount they could offer him
-
Bro Reed Sheppard was not drafted first 😂 he went 3rd to the Rockets. And why everyone keep saying first white American, so y'all just forgot about Chet 😂 and he was drafted higher than Reed 😭
