Just so we’re clear…at the end of the day I’m a fair dude. I may write things at times which go might over the top, but at the end of the day…I’m a fair dude.
I don’t know if JD Tailor is an alias for some other writer, but still–some interesting thoughts.
There’s a piece today on Daily Thunder titled The NBA’s Revenue Solution: Expansion Teams written by JD Tailor
The piece outlines the NBA’s financial challenges related to the COVID pandemic crisis which is going to effect league revenue’s for 2020 and at least two years beyond.
To paraphrase briefly…the NBA is going to have a $1.5 billion revenue shortfall for 2020. Around 40% of the league’s revenue is derived from game day operations. It is being projected the league for almost certain will incur another $1.5 billion or so shortfall in 2021. 2022…not sure yet.
I enjoyed JD’s piece and since I don’t have permission to link to the story–I would like to at least give him a thumbs up on the piece and encourge fans in the Oklahoma City market to read it.
I may even write some piece myself next week on where and why I would create two new expansion teams in the NBA in the next several years.
Anyway… a nice solid piece as all NBA fans should be aware of the financial challenges on the horizon for their NBA basketball teams.
