Adam Silver says it's "likely" some sort of plan for jersey advertisements would be implemented next season.

Wow. Guess I don't really care but it does screw the aesthetics of the uniforms.

The Celtics will always scare me and at this point they are just annoying and I just want them to go away

Stern says new CBA means teams will be judged by "M" word -- "management, not market and not money."

I guess I am from a different mold that's okay with jersey sponsors. I grew up watching football and Formula 1, which are plastered with it. It didn't degrade the game or take away from the purity of it all.

And each and every one of those leagues is tenfold healthier than the NBA could imagine being. Increased revenue/sponsorship (if it makes all teams profitable) would help close the parity gap -- even for a little bit.

Jeremy Lin saga kind of proves his point. But that still might be the exception.

I'm from that background too, and in some sports it's shocking and the amount of jersey churn is disgusting. I don't mind this as long as the 2x2 patches are the only advertising.

A 2x2 patch is nothing, most of them will probably be Nike/Adidas/etc so it shouldn't be too bad.

They're both equally irrelevant, I think.

Yes, I did see the MLS attendance figures thread. No, I still don't care. Call me when teams make more money than AAA baseball.

I'll care when they can get some world class talent to play here. Not past their prime guys but legit stars. Speaking of soccer

Flopping and away-from-the-ball fouls were discussed and referred to the competition committee for more discussion at the September meeting.

Oddly, I have no feeling either way.

Parity-wise, the most successful teams can still charge more since they'll be on TV more often.

Yep! But the difference now between large market and small market is staggering. The former can spend out of the ass and still be profitable. If we get to a point where it's about HOW MUCH a team is profitable versus IF they are profitable, it would be better for the league overall and improve the product.

I think it will depend on the market. I can totally see a like Best Buy patch (if they still exist) on the Wolves' jerseys in a year.

I hope Larry Ellison buys an Orcale logo on the Warriors.

As long as I can buy my jersey with no ads I will be fine.

Speaking of Formula 1... lets put that league in perspective:

Formula One can be seen live or tape delayed in almost every country and territory around the world and attracts one of the largest global television audiences. The 2008 season attracted a global audience of 600 million people per race.[107] It is a massive television event; the cumulative television audience was calculated to be 54 billion for the 2001 season, broadcast to two hundred countries.[108]

Not Target?

Well, probably. But they just renewed their deal for Target Center, and they have Target Field, which has a Target Plaza around the stadium. It's kind of gross.

So if you ever watch a Twins game, you are bombarded with Target, as Target Center and the plaza are both highly visible whenever they go to a camera that's not center field.
