The NBA's push for increased parity through a new collective-bargaining agreement has made it challenging for teams to retain star players, aiming to balance competition. This is a notable shift from the league's history dominated by big-market teams like the Lakers and Celtics, which won a vast majority of championships. The current season's potential matchups, including teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers, reflect the impact of this CBA, although down television ratings question the results in popularity and intrigue. The era of super-teams and power dynamics has also shifted owners' perspectives, particularly from smaller markets.
The NBA's new collective-bargaining agreement has resulted in increased parity, allowing more small-market teams to compete, contrasting the previous dominance of big-market teams.
In a drastic change for the NBA, the new CBA has made it harder for teams to hoard superstars, signaling a new era focused on competitive balance.
