Message: [QUOTE="CamrnCrz1974, post: 2779485, member: 1052"] Not entirely true. The presence of NBA players at games, the presence of staff, etc. feed into season ticket purchasing (this is present at Mercury games). I myself purchased my Suns season tickets while at a Mercury game ten years ago. The ownership of the WNBA team allows the NBA team to negotiate better lease deals with the owners of the venues, as it is another guaranteed 17 dates (not including preseason). Teams are negotiating for 58 games, instead of 41 (again, not including preseason). 75 percent of players on a G League team will never be called up to that franchise. So the NBA team is paying for those players who will not "directly" benefit the team [/QUOTE]
