The collective bargaining agreement (CBA) of the National Basketball Association (NBA) is a contract between the league (the commissioner and the 30 team owners) and the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA), the players' union, that dictates the rules of player contracts, trades, revenue distribution, the NBA draft, and the salary cap, among other things.
Since the 1960s, all regular season and playoff games broadcast in the United States have been aired by national television networks.

[27] The MLB Players Association strongly disputes this conclusion.
The deal earned Major League Baseball less than $500,000, but led to a new two-year contract for 40–45 games per season. On April 7, 1983, Major League Baseball, ABC, and NBC agreed to terms of a six-year television package worth $1.2 billion.
The NBA salary cap is the limit to the total amount of money that National Basketball Association teams are allowed to pay their players.
