The first round of the NBA has ended, and 8 teams have been eliminated, of which the Nets are the most miserable, and it is a 4-0 sweep. The other teams won at least one game, and the Nets couldn't win one game and were swept away. What is even more heartfelt is that there have been reports recently that the Nets have lost up to $100 million this season, becoming the team with the worst losses in the NBA. Didn't expect that? The NBA's biggest loss this season is the Nets. Although the Warriors have to pay more luxury taxes, the Warriors have reached the second round and still have a chance to win the championship, and the Warriors' home attendance is very good, more profitable than the Nets.
According to NBA reporters, the Nets should lose between $50 million and $100 million this season, which will become the team with the worst financial losses in the NBA. The Nets have spent a very crazy season, their total salary is $169.3 million, the league's second, the luxury tax is almost $100 million, and it is also the second in the league and the second highest luxury tax in NBA history. In other words, the Nets have to pay more than $200 million in salary per player. Durant wants $40.92 million and Irving $34.92 million. As a result, the two did not play many games, Durant missed a quarter of the games, Irving missed nearly two-thirds of the games, which affected the record and attendance.
Simmons still has $33 million, and as a result, he didn't play a game this season, and he could get tens of millions just sitting on the bench. Harris also took $17.36 million, and the result was also directly reimbursed for the season, which was also spent in vain. The Nets' 4 gentlemen, none of them have played 82 games, and even do not add up to many games, and the cost performance is too low. The attendance of players not only affects the team's record, but also affects the team's attendance, which also affects the team's finances. And they were out in the first round of the playoffs, and the blow to the team was even more severe, and the playoffs only played two games at home, and there was no chance to make money.
A lot of teams are counting on the playoffs to make money, and the Warriors are like that, they are the first in the league in terms of total salary, the luxury tax is also the first in the league, and they spend more than the Nets. But the Warriors have a good record, Wiggins has a high attendance rate, Klay has come back to maintain good playing time, and Curry and Green have been absent for a while, but not too long. And the Warriors have now entered the second round, in the first round, the Warriors home attendance is very high, a home game can earn tens of millions of dollars, if the Warriors can get the championship, this money can be fully earned back.
Therefore, the Nets learned the Warriors to spend money, and as a result, they could not learn the Warriors' way to make money, and it was natural to become the most loss-making team in the NBA. The Nets are even worse than the Lakers, and although the Lakers can't even get into the playoffs, not even in the playoffs, they don't lose money like the Nets. The Lakers have also formed a big three lineup this season, Davis is also injured, and the team's record is not good. But the Lakers are traditional giants after all, with James and Wei Shao and other people in, they don't have to worry about tickets, even if they can't make money, they won't lose money. And the Lakers' luxury tax is only $45.01 million, far less crazy than the Nets.
Boss Cai was miserable this time, their big three became a joke, they didn't even have a body, and the three of them hadn't played a game together. Boss Tsai is now reportedly not going to trade players lightly, and he has now fired CEO John Abamondi. That is to say, the First Nets left the team and let an executive officer carry the pot. He was also a little helpless, in fact he helped the Nets set records for attendance, ticket revenue and sponsorship, and the result was that Boss Cai was still not satisfied. Boss Cai is finally starting to start, but this operation is still confusing. The Nets want a better record, or part ways with Nash! Find a strong coach instead of a rookie coach. If next season is still such a lineup, the Nets are still not far away.
