The NBA’s salary cap varies from year to year based off the leagues revenue under their CBA, short for collective bargaining agreement. A new CBA was just reached this December for another & years. For example, in 2014 the NBA inked a new deal with ABC/ESPN and Turner that will keep the league on those broadcasters' channels through 2025 for the cool price of $2.67 billion per year. Just because of that deal once it kicked in the salary cap increased by 30 million dollars. In collective bargaining agreement, you get the rules and regulations for contracts, salary caps, and anything else related to that. The NBA operates under a soft cap but certain components of the NBA's system function as a hard cap under specific circumstances. A soft cap gives teams a chance to retain the players they have and give them more money instead of them leaving for a bigger market

It’s interesting to see the selling points of each organization and how they try and fill the stadium. The Lakers do this with the tradition of winning and glamour of celebrities that come to a Lakers game. The Clippers were selling the consumer on the rise of Blake Griffin and his highlight dunks.

The Heat was once a dominating force in the league for the past few years. From 2010-2014, led by the Big Three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, they build the best trio combination in the league. They've been in the NBA Finals for four consecutive years and won two championships during those times.

As Alexander stated, a team valued at $800 million would have to pay $320 million or 40% at some point.

Wrongful convictions occur every day. With a legal system that is at times dependent on eyewitness accounts and hearsay there is room for error. Sometimes these errors of justice are quickly rectified, but at other times the process can be long and drawn out. In the case of the West Memphis three: Damian Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley, were teenagers when they were arrested for the murders of three young boys: Chris Byers, Michael Moore, and Stevie Branch. For nearly two decades, although convicted of the crimes, the West Memphis three denied any involvement in the murders. The West Memphis three case is a prime example of how small town misconceptions and rumors can take hold of a criminal case and twist non-existent

So it is the same process as i explained as the paragraph above with the titans. The difference we came up with was the numbers. So the numbers if we compared with New York teams is we would get 500,000,000 million. This number comes from 2.1 billion from New York Giants, 1.2 Billion from the New York Rangers, and then 500 million from the Las Vegas Golden Knights. So if we do the process as above that is where the 500 million comes from. So if we did go with New York as our profit we would get a lot more than what we would get if went with the Tennessee

Some people believe that NBA arenas will fill up in spite of high ticket prices. Just last year Michael Jordan made 33.14 million dollars while the whole Chicago Bulls salary cap was 26.9 million, and all season long seats were filled. That means to some that no matter the amount, people will continue to attend NBA games.

11 february 2016Kobe and LeBron are both great basketball player, but who is better? I think Kobe is better than LeBron. Kobe makes more money than LeBron James. Kobe makes 30.4 million and LeBron made 19.1 million in 2013-14 season. The Kobe 8’s signature shoes sold 50 million at U.S stores in 2013-14. Kobe is the better player on court because he has a higher salary.

In its most recent offer, made February 2, 2005, the NHL owners proposed a six-year deal. Its main features are:

There have been rumor that Steve Ballmer, former Microsoft CEO and now owner of the Los Angeles Clippers wants to move the Clippers to Seattle. The NBA will likely to move a franchise to Seattle within the two years. Geoff Baker explain what Ballmer thought on moving to Seattle and what his plan are for the Clippers in his article “Steve Ballmer on NBA in Seattle: not likely to happen within next year or two years.” Baker Explains what Ballmer said, “he doesn’t see Seattle landing an NBA franchise within the next year or two years (2).” Ballmer just brought the ownership of the Clippers two years ago for $2 billion. Ballmer thinks that NHL team is most likely to move a franchise over to Seattle before an NBA team will land an arena in Seattle.

In October, The Kings announced that the deal was final, they will now be undertaking all business operations performed by the Bighorns. Neither Herb Santos, pervious owner of the Bighorns, or the Kings will disclose the cost of the purchase. Other D-League business inquiries have sold for $6 million, such as a D-League Team that was just bought out close to Toronto. We can only assume that the purchase of the Bighorns, were within the range of the same financial cost. Only good things have been said about the purchase, it has been foretold that it will have great benefits for both teams. The Kings principle owner Vivek Ranadive only further justified the benefits within his statement, “This is an incredible opportunity to develop players, front-office staff and future business executives for the Sacramento Kings, while simultaneously contributing meaningfully to the Reno entertainment, commercial and nonprofit ecosystem.”

The Lakers vs. Celtics rivalry is arguably the greatest rivalry in the NBA because of how long it’s been going on for. There has been a ridiculous amount of resurgences in this rivalry, beginning in the 1959s when these two teams met for the first time in the playoffs. Facing each other in the finals almost every year of the 1960s, the rivalry was brought back again in the 1980s with the personal feud between Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.

Additionally, because of the tax rules, 50% of the purchased price, which is $12 million, was designed as the value of the player roster then. This value was capitalized and depreciated over six years.
