Devils Advocate- it might not be a bad idea. They don’t want their arenas looted and burned down during live coverage of a game.
Why should a multi-billion dollar industry and the municipalities that own these arenas be spared when small business are left to fend for themselves?

The rioters are big NBA fans. This way they won't have to miss a game on TV while they're out picking up a better TV.

They’ll all have long Instagram posts and it will be covered as nauseum

NBA is great at alienating a good chunk of their fan base.
You don't really believe the NBA cares about the part of the fanbase that disagree's with their stance?

Literally no one cares

NBA ratings have nothing to do with this.

Ouch.

Self-inflicted wounds are purposely ignored until they can’t be. For the NBA, that moment is inching closer. Coming into the 2020-21 season, NBA games on ABC — the league’s most important partner — were down 45% since 2011-12. On cable, it’s only slightly less damning. NBA broadcasts on TNT were down 40% and 20% on ESPN. To stick with more recent trends, the past two NBA Finals crashed to double-digit declines, with the most recent falling down 51% to an all-time record low. Last season’s NBA on ABC games fit that same category, recording the lowest average (2.95 million) on record. According to The Athletic’s Ethan Strauss, that record will break once again this season. “Eventually, it will be official: The NBA again lost viewership on its ABC games, down from last season’s all-time low,” Strauss writes. “Based on how this average drops as the season moves along (it starts off highest after the Christmas games bonanza), we can safely project that the ABC games will finish at a mark that’s lower than last season.” The current average for the premium network TV games to this point in 2020-2021 is 2.83 million. Strauss adds that the jury is still out on […]
Ouch.

Fold up the league, please. We are all praying for this.

The NBA doesn’t care about middle America whites. We haven’t been reliable NBA consumers in decades.
They’re pandering to the young and coastal demographic - which is now obviously more liberal - in hopes of expanding their brand.
They have replaced conservative viewership with Chinese eyes.

NBA is making sure they kill themselves off for good. I think its a great business model.

Exactly. The media always say it’s okay to burn and loot because those businesses have insurance. This ridiculous ideology should also apply to the arenas

Postpone that shite until the 12th of never. Make those crybaby bitches go get a 9-5 and see how much of their bullshite would be heard.

Nobody was watching anyway. They should relocate to Guangzhou

I don't like Lebron, but he is smart when it comes to money. And although basketball was obviously his engine, he has made and will make far more off the court. I would say he has probably made $1 billion, and only 30% of that is from basketball. And he will continue to make that long after basketball is over for him. See Shaq, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, etc.
