Was hanging out with my brother in law today and this came up. It’s sad but true, NBA needs to fire that guy.

@Undisciplined and I talked at length about some of the criticism about the modern NBA and what is fair and what isn't in our recent pod episode.
Silver is well respected by NBA owners. He isn't getting fired any time soon.

Regardless of how respected he may be, the NBA is absolutely printing money right now. The owners couldn't be happier with Silver.

And here's why they won't.
"The average NBA franchise is now worth $4.6 billion, according to Sportico's calculations," per the publication. "The total is up 15% versus 2023 and nearly double four years ago, when the average was $2.37 billion. The gains at the bottom of the financial table are even greater, with the current $3.06 billion 'get-in' price 127% higher than four years ago."
The people making that money are the only ones with the power to fire him.

Exactly. League commissioners work for the owners.
