Watching games online might be easier next year

PrintFrom Forbes.com: "Beginning next season, the league, along with its media partner, Turner Sports, plans to put digital rights for live games into the hands of its 30 teams, according to Commissioner David Stern." It's too early to know what this actually means, but in theory it could allow displaced Pistons fans to (legitimately) watch games online at Pistons.com for less money than it'd cost to purchase the NBA's current online League Pass package, which runs about $90. Stay tuned.

Does this reduce the amount of revenue sharing throughout the league? It would seem splitting these rights up would enrich the Lakers, Celtics, Knicks, Bulls, Pistons, etc. while the Thunder, Hawks, and other smaller market teams would see very little revenue from it.

Well at least we can be thankful that the team’s doing its part to lower the fair market value of said online video…

I hope it’s easier to watch games next year because watching games this year has been really tough… although that probably has more to do with how they’ve been playing…
