The NBA definitely seems like they're glued to the past with all the Lakers Warriors crap. I really want to see more Grizzlies Spurs Thunder and Cavs games, good young teams.

You do but the masses will not tune in to watch Oklahoma city or Memphis unless they live nearby, same with Cleveland unless Lebron is a starting Cav.

i mean people complain about this with the NFL and the Cowboys but they always draw and that’s why they’re there. i do agree they should be able to flex some national games though for newer/more interesting teams
