I know the short answer is "the CBA" but is there any reason these guys make this level of salary when the teams/brands are what really matter?


Paying lower salaries = worse players = more losses = fewer eyeballs watching = decreased brand value

Just seems like there are a lot of people out there that would love to play pro basketball and would "settle" for a measly $1 million a year. Is the illusion of being "the very best" really worth all those extra dollars??


would anyone pay to watch five unknowns play for the Celtics?

I don't think the number is the crazy part, it's the other 3 guys making the bank they do. Tatum and brown are worth every penny.
