In the NBA, size matters. Get your mind out of the gutter! We’re talking about market size. In theory, having a team that plays in one of the league’s biggest cities is a huge advantage.
It doesn’t always work out that way. No matter where your team plays basketball, you must manage it properly.
Otherwise, you’ll be destined for mediocrity – or worse.
The recent history of the New York Knicks proves as much. This team hasn’t sniffed the NBA Finals since the late 90s.
Meanwhile, the recent history of the Los Angeles Lakers is a little more complicated, but it is fair to say that they aren’t currently in a situation that befits their market.
Could these two big-city teams make a blockbuster trade this season?
