I wonder if there will be an effort to make the expansion teams more competitive off the hop. They're paying $500 million this time around, not $75 million.

The existing teams want to collect the money from the expansion teams, but they really don't have any incentive to help make those teams any good, especially if it's at their own expense. The expansion teams also don't really have much leverage in dictating the terms of expansion.
