The summer of 2016: The Rudy Gobert Extension

In a turkish nba forum, I saw a post like "Gobert demands 5 year 143 million $ contract." Are these news true? Any tweets to refer?

I don't know. I really don't. I just saw a facebook post on an nba community.

gotta be honest, these new salaries are making it hard to enjoy the game. both because it hurts me to be doing something that is so much more important to the world and making so much less, and that the new tv deal is gonna make it hard to watch games cause cable and satellite rates are going to go up.

2 things I don't get.
1. Why will there be all this tv money from this new deal?
2. How can cable/satellite companies raise rates?

The reason I don't get it? More and more people are going away from cable and satellite tv. There is roku, huli, netflix, slingbox, etc, etc. Plus I have free apps on my phone that let me watch pretty much anything I want.

Seems like tv money for these leagues should be going down, as should the cost of cable and satellite tv.

If Beal's max was 5/130 million how could Gobert get 5/143?

Because Rudy's contract will be based on next year's salary cap other than Beal's tract.

They've underpaid for a decade and made a ton of money off of it. The ratings were better than what they paid for. Other TV genres declining and sports programming staying stable means that the relative value goes up together with an growing audience.
So the commercials are getting more expensive as well and got in the past. They just reinvest the cash they made off the last deal, bet on future growth and stability and extract the rest from commercial rates.
