NBA has needed to get out of the RSN ghetto for years now. NFL and fútbol are light years ahead in affordability and ease of access.

I assume streaming is the next stop.

Our team has been affected twice by companies filing for bankruptcy this season.. wouldnt shock me if on the next media deal, they turn to a more reliable network. About a fourth of the teams in the NBA local networks are hosted by NBC.

i agree they have to change the way they do things if want to survive.

if NBA.com gives me all the heat games for a reasonable price i would jump in without question but the blackout rules in this digital era is just absurd. granted they want people to go the arenas because that's where most of the money is going to be made but regardless....

Yeah, now that you can stream the product, the leagues should just offer it directly to the consumer.
