The NBA is back!  In what seems to be a Christmas miracle of sorts, the players and   owners finally reached a tentative agreement. After many teams claimed losses in the hundred millions, the new CBA (collective bargaining agreement) gives an equal 50/50 split of profits. Some analysts estimate this change will generate over 3 billion dollars in profits over the next 10 years.

To some fans, this talk of money is unimportant. They have only one question on their minds; "When will they play?" Well Christmas day you can look forward to seeing your favorite NBA stars doing what they do best, actually playing basketball. Anticipated starting dates for the Magic are either December 26th or 27th. My source inside the Magic office tells me that a majority of the original starting dates will remain the same, however there will be changes. The best part though, there WILL be an ALL STAR game which will bring in over $60 million to the city, local business owners, etc.

 

Once the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed this current agreement will remain valid for 6 years. At the 6 year mark in this 10 year deal, the players and owners can opt out. I won't hold my breath. Now all we have to do is lock Dwight down somehow. Good luck Magic Front office.

About the author

Rob Levy

I was born and raised right here in Orlando and I love this city with all my heart. It's the perfect combination of big city vibes, with the small town feel that keeps you from becoming overwhelmed. My goal is to learn as much as I can about how Orlando runs, what its people want, and how to implement the necessary changes to promote growth within the city and its surrounding areas. I'm also a huge sports fan. Something about cheering on our local teams instills a deep emotional connection with me. It's not just about the game. It's about my pride, my city, and people who I share this incredible culture with every single day.
