GSW has pretty much locked up the NBA title (but stranger things have happened, injuries, etc.) but teams are still in it to win in the playoffs, which equals plenty of revenue. I would love that since the networks dished out all of this money to NBA and GSW now has the monopoly on boardwalk and park place, it would be awesome if no one watched the games and the ratings plummeted. I mean what's the point unless you're a bball junkie. Maybe they'll encourage betting on NBA games. It works for the NFL.
Edit: Regarding the Nets, LOL , what a roster. Top 4 pick guaranteed, and this is after they lose the most games but have a chance to fall to number 4 in the lottery. That is all.
And yes, I do wonder if DA traded for Jimmy Butler, would that have changed KD's mind. I personally don't think so.
