So the new media deal is coming together. ESPN staying. Amazon close. NBC back

76 billion over 11 years. I wonder how much longer people will be freaking out over supermax.

People in the league today are going to make 100 million a season. 80 will be pretty soon. SGA will make 80 million by the end of his next contract.

The deal is for triple the money of the one that people felt exploded the cap last time.

We will literally not even remember any current or past Supermax as having even been worth mentioning.

The next guys we call overpaid will be on 470 million dollar deals and sit out like John Wall and Kwahi.

All those “giant” deals become Mike Conley forgotten just as anyone with sense saw they would.

bradley beal needs another super max

[QUOTE=Kblaze8855;14908209]Ok so it’s gonna be about $76 billion up from 24 billion. They wanted to triple it and they did better than that. I can’t even imagine where the salary cap is going to be soon. The early projections show a max contract will be about $400 million at the start of it. Either SGA or Jokic will get 400 million summer after next. Jokic will have the ten years in to get the super super max.

Somewhere in the near future players are going to make 85 million a season.

Oh, and Amazon officially has the rights to both the in season tournament, which will be known as the NBA cup and the play in.

All play in Games for 10 years are gonna be on Amazon only.[/QUOTE]

****.... will never pay to watch this garbage.
We will still have morons like Doris Burke yapping over the F'n NBA finals!
ABC did not even spend the money to keep the people who knew the game!

and the ads?... shit, only an idiot let's ads decide what to purchase. Who watches that crap?

and 80 to 90 million a year for playing basketball? i don't see how any sane person can justify that.
would not surprise me if ads somehow ruin the TV viewing experience in the future... like it has now in the NHL, with moving digital ads on the ice and boards.

tnt still can hav bball if matchs what nba contract is w/in 10 days.

Nothing has to be said to justify anyone’s salary beyond their employer having the revenue to justify it due to how much they contribute to said revenue. 450 players generate a 76 billion dollar deal to see them. Those numbers make it hard for their pay to be anything poor people think makes sense to play ball.

The money just keeps going up. A ten year vet one team bonus Supermax from a couple years ago is less than a full rookie extension is now.

Either players get it to play or owners get it to own. No third option. Someone rich is getting richer.

There has to be a GOBB burn every other post on ISH :roll:

What happens to NBATV? Its operated by Turner Sports. I'm assuming either NBC or Amazon would operate that now too right?

It says TNT will target Amazon's package, can't they just target a portion of it and make up the $ difference? Amazon is going to be played 3 nights a week, can't TNT just get at least 1 of those nights? The NFL has 4 broadcast partners, so I'm not sure why the NBA can't do the same.

Players are already making $60M-$70M a year. If the new deal is triple the value, won't that mean we should see players making ~$200M/year?

The current CBA runs to 2030 and the rights deal goes to 2035 or 2036 so it’s hard to say what could change in the next CBA. I’d imagine some horror story like Lonzo Ball or someone making 480 million and only playing 77 games total will be used to justify owners changing the structure.

I wouldn’t be surprised if minimum pay rises a lot and max pay doesn’t get past the 90-100 a year guys are on pace to make by then. The players would likely be in favor of it. Lot more low end guys than superstars.

They would probably vote for a 5-8 million dollar minimum salary in exchange for nobody topping 100 million. The union would have a hard time convincing the low end guys to turn that down I’d imagine. Your 12th man making 12 million is easier to swallow than your best player making 130 and still taking rest days wouldn’t it? Who wants to give the next flash in the pan 540 million to immediately fall off and still get paid for years when you could instead pay a bunch of role players 9-12 instead of 2.5 on short deals you can easily get out of?

Ownership focuses on using the low end guys against the top if they have any sense. Vet minimum should be 10 million. Alter the rookie scale. Takes a huge chunk from the top I’m sure.

Hopefully TNT steps in and takes Amazon's planned deal. I sure as **** ain't going to pay for Amazon on top of what I'm paying for cable now. Same for the NFL.... **** them.

Makes sense, but who knows, I'd say sky's the limit. 10 years ago, making $20M/year was thought to be pretty astounding, I doubt most fans thought we'd be where we are today.

The Amazon package is reportedly $1.8 billion a year while TNT's current package is $1.4 billion a year.

Granted it's less games but given that it's an 11 year deal and time value of money it seems like they might match.
