You can't tell me watching the Kings now isn't much more enjoyable than watching them when Cousins was in town.
 
Lakers being a contender can draw ratings for a number of matchups in the league now Lakers-celtics, Lakers-warriors, Lakers spurs, etc.

Lakers don't even need to be an contender to draw though. They've been in the doldrums for 4 seasons now and still are tops in road attendance and still outdraw the Clippers in LA. They are and will forever be the glamour franchise of the league. A few lean years isn't going to change that. Boston was irrelevant for 20 years and nobody cared. The NBA needs the Lakers to get back to prominence. That's how everyone else eats.

Everybody eats B
 
It's really that simple.

The NBA is as great as it's ever been, but it's not as good as it can be.
We need the Lakers to be good, no doubt.

When Lakers win a ring again, NBA will have surpassed NFL.
NFL is going to be buns in 10 years and probably gone in 20
 
I never got that "Knicks/Lakers/Celtics/Bulls being good is good for the NBA" thing
Remove the Bulls from that statement

"Need" is a strong term. I would say the league largely benefits from having the Knicks/Celtics/Lakers be good.
 
I just watched that Chael Sonnen Sage Steele video for the first time. The video is worse than the pic :{

I agree the league does but I dont believe fans do.
