Thirteen NBA teams currently have contracts with Main Street Sports. That number has been culled over the last few years, but will at least be stable for next season. Five teams — the Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves and Milwaukee Bucks — chose this spring to stay on FanDuel Sports Network for the next two years instead of opting out of their contracts, according to sources briefed on the deals. One team executive said the difficulty of navigating the broadcast landscape outside of the RSN model has made it “worse than cable,” as they pointed out why those 13 teams have clung to their deals.

The NBA has been searching for answers and it may need to step in at some point. The league has discussed a national streaming service for its local broadcasts. While it isn’t going to commander teams’ local rights, a source called it “inevitable.” Eventually, the NBA might need to produce games too — which some teams already do. Next season is likely to be a transition year. Last season, about half of locally broadcast games were available for streaming in-market. Next season, every NBA team but the Houston Rockets could be, if the league reaches a deal with respective RSNs for the digital rights for those other 29 teams as intends to do (Houston is working on it as well, but it is uncertain if the team will be able to reach a deal).

Draymond Green is anticipating his transition to life after the NBA. The Warriors star, who helped bring four championships to the Bay Area, shed light on his future in the league Tuesday while discussing sports villains and athlete storytelling at Sport Beach, which is hosted by Stagwell at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. “As I transition in the next two or three years from basketball… I know that’s where my life leads me in the next two or three years,” Green, 35, said as he expressed his dedication to telling unbiased stories about the game on his eponymous podcast.
