the players are going to strike lulz 

They make ~15% of the revenue of the league, I think they have a reasonable case. The business is growing and the workers want a bigger piece of the pie, nothing crazy about that. The new broadcast rights deal starts in 2026 and will add 2.2 billion over 10 years, which means they should be profitable next year.

The NBA owns 42% of the wNBA. They aren't going to be profitable for a while, considering how much the NBA has poured into the league to keep from folding.

The TV deal alone is going from 50m a year to 200m a year for the rights from broadcasters. That should get them as a league well into the black. It's growing pretty well, and with more money behind the TV deal, the more marketing and spotlight it will get. I would expect it to continue to grow. 

If the Rockets ownership views one team as worthy of a $200m+ offer to purchase, that seems like quite an evaluation of the brand and its potential.  The NBA isn't going to make their money back via profits, but the value of their equity should be worth way more than the ~1 billion or so they have invested in the last decade to get it off the ground.  A couple expansion teams will cover that alone.

Ime needs to get out of the way and let Reed assume his rightful position as starting guard on this team.

It's better he comes off the bench. He would defer too much to Sengun and Durant in the starting lineup. The only big change that Ime needs to make is less of the double big lineup. It kills spacing. Stone also need to go get another real guard that can take whatever minutes they are giving to Okogie.

No need to worry about minutes and rotations if a couple of wings are always out. 3D chess baby.

I was just fucking with y'all about Okogie being out, btw.

okogie isn't a starter 

This was the initial eval I gave when y'all signed him. Granted he has been better than I thought - especially his shooting - but I stand by the crunch-time and playoff comments.

Okogie is an off-the-bench energy guy. He is atrocious on offense and that 35% from 3 was completely wide open looks his entire time in Phoenix. Teams don't even guard him. 

He is a pretty damn good defender and stuffs the statsheet but Houston shouldn't need him to be anything but a warm body at practice and the 11th or 12th man. You can't like, have him in the game during crunch time or play him real minutes in a playoff series. 

Obviously the 11th-12th man comment was said with the thought that Eason and DFS would be playing.
