New Forbes report shows NBA lost $1.8 billion over last six years
PUBLISHED Wed, 06 Jul 2011 22:08:00 -0400
The NBA has lost $1.845 billion over the last six years, according to audited financial data obtained by Forbes magazine.
* 05-06: 19 clubs ran at a loss, total losses of $220 million
* 06-07: 21 clubs ran at a loss, total losses of $285 million
* 07-08: 23 clubs ran at a loss, total losses of $330 million
* 08-09: 24 clubs ran at a loss, total losses of $370 million
* 09-10: 23 clubs ran at a loss, total losses of $340 million
* 10-11 (projected): 23 clubs ran at a loss, total loss of $300 million

Oh yeah, a 4-5% cut is going to fix this problem.
Get real. The NBA does not make anywhere near the income to support the kind of salaries that NBA players demand. If they accept that deal the NBA will fold and cease to exist within 2-3 years, tops.
The Warriors were just purchased for almost double what Forbes stated their team value was.
So... basically, anything out of Forbes having to do with the NBA can safely be ignored.
But good job posting a link for once. At least you're improving on your trolling.

As usual, you just make up whatever bull shit you can think of to support your "arguments". Even if it is totally illogical and delusional and has absolutely no relation at all to the topic being discussed.

It's another year Baron Davis doesn't get payed. And the Commissioner is right.
FOUR teams have won 24 of the last 32 NBA championships since the 1980 season.
Lakers payroll; well over $100 Million
Sacramento at 45.
The "Salary cap" that the NBA has been operating under is virtually worthless.
As much as I wanted to see the new look Cavaliers, go to games with the pals etc. I think we can all agree on the above.

I don't get why the owners are offering so much. Why should the players get the bigger chunk? It makes no sense.

How many titles did New York win when they were spending 100 million a year?
What did Orlando get by spending 90 million last year?

It's called terrible management. James Dolan, Otis Smith etc. Still doesn't justify the "Salary cap" which is worthless in the NBA.

Do watch basketball to see players play or to see owners own?

Why would the players deserve all that money by playing basketball, when the owners are the actually smart people. It's a waste of money to give it to most of the morons in the NBA.

Exactly. It's about having good management and has nothing to do with market size nor salaries.

Clips benifit from this deal too, its not like its Vince Carter for Eric Williams and low picks. Everyone needs to relax, at this time both side are going to release their Propaganda. Media is desprate for any news, they are willing to release both side's propaganda.
Nah that pick got them Kyrie Irving.
But the Clippers will have a lottery pick last season and removed Baron's contract so they should be ok. Mo Williams wont harm them.

I pay money for the iPod, not to meet Steve Jobs. See the stupidity of your pathetic argument?

Titles are overrated
Re: Dan Gilbert and Robert Sarver killed CBA deal

Which has what to do with the fact people pay billions of dollars to see the players and own things with their names on it?
It's a waste of money to give it to most of the morons in the NBA.
As opposed to what? Paul Allen buying another 160 million dollar boat? Mark Cuban spending 90 thousand dollars in the club?
