Solution is simple. Have the players buyout the investors and what the nba subsidizes. That way revenue can be split 2 ways instead of 4. Of course we all know that won’t work out like they want it to.
Disingenuous question. They are seeking higher wages in the next CBA. But you know that.
They don't need to leave the players only 9% for purposes of "ROI" and "losing money every year" was mostly an accounting lie too.From what? They’ve lost money every year they’ve been in existence. At some point those that have thrown money away to keep them afloat might consider a little roi. There’s not many companies that start a business to lose money just to give someone a job so those that were given employment can demand more money.

Lots of entities increased wages before being "profitable" anyway. It's always weird to me when there is a labor dispute and fans side with the billionaire owners over the players who make the leagues what they are
No, they are just arguing for something close to the status quo because they always do. Every time leagues do what you're suggesting and try "replacement players" everyone hates them, and again why side with the owners over the players?Lol. 9% is better than 0%. I guess after 30 years of losing hundreds of millions they feel like they deserve something. There’s always someone willing to play for less.

There was a good article on Yahoo Sports today quoting a couple of economists who argued that the WNBA players are being vastly underpaid based on their value. I'll link it. ‘They’re absolutely underpaid’: Economists weigh in on WNBA labor showdownThey don't need to leave the players only 9% for purposes of "ROI" and "losing money every year" was mostly an accounting lie too.

Who said anything about NBA player money? They certainly won't be operating at a loss thoughAnd? The pie is split 4 ways instead of 2. They may get more money but it won’t be anything close to nba player money and will continue to operate at a loss.
