It's not that much money. It's equivalent to a cash transfer of 3.33M/Yr for each NBA team. But 100% of that money is not going to the team's coffers. It's a drop in the bucket in terms of their operating figures. The US TV deals are far more valuable and are in the fact the deals that will sway changes to how BRI is distributed between owners and players.
