joining me now is cory johnson and former nba tv president.urrently the president of a media sports network. how do you expect us to impact the team in the short term and the long term? emily, i think you have to look at this in the way that the sports business works. the reality is, the sports is aess infrastructure very high fixed cost, high fixed expense business. so with player costs on the one hand, everything else that goes into the cost structure, essentially being fixed, and the revenue streams, whether they be local television, national television licensing, ticket sales, sponsorship, most of those are actually long-term agreements that do not really respond quickly to market forces. obviously, you had the carmax announcement today. it remains to be seen whether that will be an isolated incident or will be something bigger. is interesting about this, to me at least, as a longtime sports and nba journalist, is that you have so many players and team executives from other teams dumbing down instantly and not disputing the notion that thi
