Capel's Twitter post about Blake to the Clips

My exact thought. The NBA is going to love marketing Blake to LA.
 
Haha. Complementing a team for being in a great market is like telling a fat girl that her clothing looks slimming.

True, but the NBA is going to make a lot more off of Blake in LA than they would in Minnesota or OKC.
 
The Clippers might as well be in Tijuana.

They're never on TV, and they are 2nd fiddle in that "great" market.

Great players go there to fade away.
 
This whole market thing only worked during the era of radio broadcasts. Gee, imagine how big a star Lebron would be if he wasn't in Cleveland. Imagine if Yao Ming were on the Pacific coast, then the Chinese would really follow him. Stars are stars no matter where they are.

To a degree you are correct but if Brett Favre won a Super Bowl with the Jets as opposed to with GB his drama would be even worse(yea thats possible)
