Star Players and Contracts

The NBA starts its season with looming questions about its next set of media rights deals, expansion, and how fans and players will react to the midseason tournament.

We also take a look at the NBA’s desire for a special, streaming-only game package along the lines of Amazon’s "Thursday Night Football."
