I study accounting and out of all the articles/posts/blogs/whatevers his hits it right on the money. I was particularly impressed how he explained the amortization/depreciation principle and it only makes sense that it would be included in the teams financial statements. If the Raptors were to buy brand new computers for the entire organization this year, in 2 years that equipment would be absolete and in 4 years it would be uncapable of running new and essential programming. That is a legitimate loss to a company and one that is allowed in a tax return.
People calling for the NBA to release the team statements to the media is a journalists ploy to get some dirt. They want something to write about and not help the lockout come to a conclusion. those are private businesses and they do not need to release their statements to the press. accountants and economists work for both the union and the league; they don't need an outsiders opinion.
sorry about the repeat thread. I just hate to comment in the column section because it's uneducated and sloppy
