no, all the nba teams have team jets where they travel to all the road games. they sleep, play cards, or simply relax.

The NBA actually uses its own writers for its recaps.  Not sure why not Ticker... I'm sure $$$ must play a part.  Always does!

that seems to me that you do not have to pay. If a contract is not sign then you don't have to pay them anything. that is my opinion

they are paid for how the game turns out like if they won they get paid more if lose than they get paid reguler.  and plus how the players play like kobe when he made those 81 points he scored alot of money because his outcome and dwyane in the play offs he help the team win 4 wins all the way to the championships and he got like raise for his accomplishment and thats it

Yes. In the California League (minor league, class A), there are agreements with all teams giving teams a discount at preferred hotels. I assume that it's the same in other minor leagues, too.

You bring up a good point, but yeah the NBA isn't so much about the sport now, its about how much money the people make off entertaining people. If they lose that ability it will go down the drain.

because there isnt enough money going their way if they do so, they rather spend their time practiceing and preparing for their NBA games here, which is where they make the big bucks\ni dont blame them

Players eligible for free agency are allowed to move to different teams during the off season. Teams may apply the franchise tag to a player preventing him from this, but this player is usually compensated. Players may also be traded. As to the salaries, teams, and players agents negotiate these.

generally this means two things: the arena is older, and they need a new arena to put in "club seats" seats that are off limits to regular ticket buyers and the ones who do buy them pay an upfront fee to the team for the priviledge of those seats and then the buyers of those privledged seats have to pay again for the tickets, so the team in essence gets paid two times for the seats, once for the privledge of owning the club seats and a second fee for the tickets them selves. it boosts revenue for the team twice over

It's supposedly the "no charge zone" where offensive charges won't be called.  Depends on who the player is, though.

if you buy the nba stattracker, then yes, it will be avail for all your leagues under the same ID that made the purchase....\nit won't work for nhl, mlb or nfl...each stattracker is its own application, you can't use it in different sports or under different ID's....\nbuy it in nba, get it for nba...buy it under one id, get it for that one id...but it will be avail for all teams under that id in that one sport....\n-nny

They aren't making money.  I don't know of any team that turns a profit on their WNBA team.  The NBA team that owns the WNBA supports it and loses money each year.  The owners take the loss in order to 'support' women's hoops.  And the lesbian is correct.  From all I have seen and heard, the games are a major lesbian hangout...so a lot of tix come from that aspect.  But overall, they lose money and lose big.

I haven't followed the NBA for many years for this very reason.\n\nWhile all professional sports seem to have their share of athletes who seem to only care about their statistics and how that translates into a paycheck, there seems to be a lot more of it in the NBA.

Unfortunately no.  They are separate events.  That way the host team can make more money by filling the stadium twice.  The tickets are usually sold as a package(you have to buy both the DERBY and the All-star game)...Every team gets an allotment of tickets, although the host team gets the bulk of them(at least half)

Typically there are no try-outs for NBA teams.  Most often, a player obtains an agent and declares himself eligible for the draft.  The teams will have workouts and scrimmages to watch the players in action.  \nYou can ask them for more details via email here:\nhttp://www.nba.com/email_us/

Not under contract; able to sign with other teams.\n\nFree agents may be limited by conditions placed on them by their current team.  A team who wants them may have to throw cash or draft picks in for them.\n\nUFAs can sign with anyone, without restrictions.\n\nThey have to do so by Dec 1, though, or they can't play that season.
