NBA State of Play – Rule Changes – Trends – CBA – Schedule Reform – Load Mgmt – etc

the vast majority of the tv money is national games which constitute a tiny percentage of overall games so it wouldnt actually effect it thered still be plenty of games to air, where youd lose money is live stadium stuff and local broadcast

cutting games from 82 to 58 all other things being equal would prob result in a low single digit revenue loss, but all things wouldnt be equal you now have a better product so youre laying the groundwork for long term gains

you even could do more national games since the nba is so good now everyone wants to watch it no stars are resting teams are fresh and healthy what a beautiful vision

sadly what you're asking for is the owners to prioritize the longterm good of the game even if it means paying the players the same salaries for fewer games

owners need to wake the heck up do they think having half the stars injured for the playoffs is good, they already know that resting is bad and theres one obvious solution out there that they wont touch cause theyre hopeless bean counters, even tho they bought the teams as toys! it doesnt make much sense

someone in the media needs to get the idea out there no one even talks about it we need a national conversation

make the games shorter. 8 minute quarters
