The NFL got it’s act together.
The NBA will too.
The players better get in line because the owners are NOT caving and the players going to play overseas is no big deal.
They are just helping to expand the (NBA) brand and the viewers eyes to a bigger audience through the same players who are striking.
TV numbers in Spain and Turkey and Israel and (fill in the blank) __________ still bring eyes to the tv for International Brand Managers once the NBA returns to playing.
The owners have nothing to lose.
Any player that goes to another country better also have a huge endorsement deal or else your just the NBA’s mailman delivering it somewhere else until you come home.
NBA players don’t care though.
Bosh and James waking on max money and holding owners hostage to win “not two, not three… bla bla bla championship ruined ANY leverage the other NBA players had to say it’s about the $.
It’s obviously not.
Those are my thoughts,
I welcome yours.
