And would the alternative of having the super teams bring in way more casual viewers on TV and also some more tickets from visiting arenas for the super teams and actually make the sport more popular overall? It seems it's working in the NBA despite the anger of hardcore fans.
Obviously there's flaws in my theory as I just thought of it and spit it out, but maybe an interesting debate?

More viewers doesn't mean more money, but TV deals, ticket sales and merchandise would.
