Yep. Live sports has a competitive advantage due to the real-time element. Because of video-on-demand, there's less content these days where the advertiser actually knows exactly when the target market is viewing the ads. Not sure how valuable that is to them, but these numbers are giving an indication. And then there's all the extra 24/7 spin-off content and TMZ pop-culture interest that the NBA generates more than other sports. And to top it all off, there's the NBA's expanding global market reach which is really valuable to brands trying to unify their global brand messaging.

I disagree with this take. Sure the money is nice, but I'm sure there are players who are loyal and want to win a championship with their team, but the front office decisions make it difficult. Could they leave and chase a championship? Sure, but there is something special about staying with a team and winning for that city. Look at Dirk and the Mavs.

Mavs were a 50 win team for how many years? I'm referring to teams like the Blazers and Wiz that have been awful forever.
Wizards have been awful forever I give you that one.

Keeping Beal will not be good for Washington. He's part of their "identity" alright, their identity is that they consistently suck.

Freddy is a huge component of the leadership on this team. That being said, if the 6'9 1-5 line-up works in the playoffs, the writing could be on the wall.

RJ would be my vote ... fournier is on a bad contract but he plays good enough to contribute on the bench.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

I know some people here don't really value intangibles and locker room leadership, but Fred and I guess thad are really only 2 leader type guys we have. Maybe scottie gets there but he's 20. I don't think swapping Fred for RJ would be good for the locker room confidence or the development of our young guys.
He sure has that alpha mentality, just can't back it up.
Scottie can be the leader this team needs.
And sometimes great players look elsewhere for mentorship, like what Gary Payton did to Giannis.

I will just reiterate I think that Fred is good but I just want him on this team on a different role. My desire to trade him is an IF. It hinges on whether or not he would accept a different role. If he is willing to accept then I am 100% for it.
