NBA Teams Using Start Of Regular Season To Gauge Potential Lost China Revenue

[RealGM Wiretap]

NBA teams are using the start of the regular season as a gauge to see how serious the ramifications of Daryl Morey's Tweet supporting Hong Kong will be, according to sources that spoke with Shams Charania of The Athletic.

At that point, it should be clear whether China will lift their broadcast ban of NBA games.

Several teams are negotiating contract extensions with the 2016 draft class while not fully knowing whether the NBA could face a salary cap reduction due to the loss of revenue from China.

30 year fan here, and although I’ve lost a lot of love for the NBA with the rule changes and player personalities, I’ve remained a fan of the game.

In the end I don’t believe there will be a true fallout from this. The rich will keep getting richer and the Chinese people will continue to suffer.
