Kravitz thinks so. I don’t agree. Salary caps for one accomplish nothing.
A professional league is only as strong as its weakest members. The NBA is going to benefit wildly in the short term from this talent migration to the big markets; fans love super teams, and the league’s ratings are showing that. But in time, you’re going to end up with 20 teams or more struggling to compete, struggling to put fannies in the seats. At some point, the Heat, Knicks and Lakers have to play somebody.
One of the many reasons the NFL matters more than any other American professional sports league is that everybody has a reasonable chance to compete for a title. There are revenue disparities between teams, but generally, revenue-sharing and the salary cap give well-managed franchises a chance to win a Super Bowl. Like the Saints and Colts. Like the Packers and Steelers.
