I don’t know how teams will continue to play their players these big contracts especially when some of these owners’ wealth mostly comes from the team itself.
Eventually superstar players have $500 million contracts with team salary caps of $200 million.
It seems like this never-ending quest to make more profits. Profits from stadium concessions and ticket sales can only increase by so much. Eventually they will price out the average fan.
Most fans won’t be able to afford $200 nosebleeds, $100 parking, $50 beers, $20 hotdogs & pretzels.
I think they stop going up in the near future unless NBA vastly improves their streaming product.
More people are moving away from TV every day. They’ll certainly hit a point where the TV companies can’t justify the cost. However there is a lot of monetary potential in an inexpensive NBA streaming service without blackouts
