    The NBA will exist whether the Chinese government likes it or not. They'll also make a ton of money regardless of Chinese government contributions. Long live the Chinese people! Short live the current Chinese government!

    Nice voter turnout, Hong Kong!! Proud of you!

    looks like only $100m (?per year?), if the entire drop was due to China alone.

    But that tax drop will hurt Tilman

    Morey is just waiting for the season to end so he will be canned by the league through Tilman.

    Fans are waiting for Tilman to sell the team... which is high unlikely, we basically have Dolan 2.0 as the our owner now.

    Good.

    If NBA had any balls they would ban all its game in China.

    Let them enjoy the shitty CBA and Airemy Lin show.

    I wonder how Les the Red would've handled this whole thing.

    Worse than that, the Chinese government didn't pay that money to me. Morey cost ME 4 billion dollars.

    Que sera . . .

    Morey wasn't wrong. China, in their eyes, felt disrespected.

    NBA don't need China but they wanted China, It's the growth potential. At this point it's better that both go their separate ways and cool off. Also the Nets owner didn't become a billionaire by being stupid, so he knows what's good for his core business: AliBaba and where it operates in.

    I like how the 4 billion turned into less than 100 million.

    Talk about fear mongering to censor people.:rolleyes:

    Not to mention that with the current situation in China, it's very likely that the hatchet will be buried for good.

    President Xi has to give some entertainment to his citizens to distract from the whole quarantineeing and epidemic going on.
    There is real immense public anger.
    And as every dictator knows since ancient Rome, the best solution is bread and circuses.

    That bat soup and cat poop cost China much more than Morey’s tweet

    China will be back, NBA is a unique product and it's too lucrative to abandon for good. Chinese fans love NBA.

    BS bluff.
