NBA tv to broadcast training camps
I know there are a lot of NBA buffs out there with a lot of strong opinions .. what do you think of this....?
NBA tv this year has been given the right to film at 30 training camps leading up tp the start of the 06 season. They will produce a highlights show of about 30 mins each night.
Here's the link :

From a fan's point of view i think its fantastic t be able to see 'highlights' from training camps.
But i can also see team owners and coaches being a little apprehensive - as it might inspire "show-boating" that is not welcome at training, simply because the camera is on.
What would coaches be thinking about letting their trade secrets out to opposition via the broadcast ?
Players stocks may rise or fall depending on their perceived efforts on the coverage too. If i was a 2-3 rd yr player unhappy about my court time this might be a good opportunity to "try out" for other teams without doing so and breaking league rules.
