It’s what we call a “CLEAN FEED”.
It is the “PROGRAM” that leaves our truck (same camera cuts and replays that we show everyone herein the states)
The only difference is CLEAN audio or “NATS” Natural sounds of the game or arena….squeaks of the shoes, crowd cheering, but NO ANNOUNCERS or GRAPHICS.

Everything strip off or basically a clean feed.

This is what we do at the Olympics and other large events like the World Cup, Super Bowl or NBA Finals. Our broadcast leaves the arena DIRTY for the US and CLEAN for the rest of the world. These other countries simply purchase that feed and back home add their announcers and graphics. Some countries or broadcast companies will have 1 designated camera to “ISO” or follow around their player. France does this for Wemby now. They can add that camera to their show back home.

I had mentioned on here that’s what I did for NHK in Japan during Ichiro’s rookie season. We took the Mariners CLEAN feed, and I did replays of just our ICHIRO CAM. Announcers were back in Tokyo calling over the top of it.

You should see what we do for APPLTV MLS broadcasts. Most shows have about 4 or 8 channels of audio depending on the show. On our Apple shows we have 16 channels, it’s crazy. French and Spanish calls, it’s nuts.

So every broadcast now sends out a clean feed for this exact purpose. It’s already there for countries or broadcast groups to purchase and use. Literally a switch to be flipped and China could have our broadcasts. They may send over a sideline type reporter to get interviews and press conferences, but I really don’t feel that we would have any more NATIONALLY televised games simply for Yang, yet…… Yao was understandable though.

Great insight, cheers!

NBA execs don’t want to admit they didn’t do their homework.

While perceptions sure seem to have shifted, it would be surprising to have Yang listed as the best pick not named Flagg... give it a couple years and maybe. But given whats known now compared to back on draft day, how high would Yang go if the draft was held now? Pretty easy to see him going in the top 10... I'd put him at least 7th.

Yang has a long way to go like all rookies — in his case, stamina, strength, D …
His ceiling is high with his skills and connection/awareness on the court.
Too bad Brook Lopez isn’t on the team instead of TimeLord. BL could show how a large dude who isn’t uber athletic (and is older) plays good D and learned to hit the 3.

Per usual, BE with the clickbait, not many categories of that questionnaire fit him.

it was a questionnaire of "20 NBA executives' although there were no details on the execs

overall, I think the results probably match the draft+summer league. Yang showed some good things and he also showed weaknesses. He's had plenty of hype in Portland and the NBA & ESPN have been mindful of his potential impact in China. But the SL buzz outside of the Portland area didn't include Yang very often.

Flagg wasn't going to downgraded by a bad SL. Yang wasn't going to be upgraded by a good one, and really, his SL was a mixed bag
 


Hadn't thought of Bogut comparison before.

Obviously Bogut was a #1 overall pick and way better rebounder so not trying to say their the same.

But having some of the passing role and finding a way to defend effectively with slow foot speed is similar.

Marc Gasol is the other name I hear often that could be a good role model.

Yang looks most like Gasol passing-wise, at least what I've seen so far, there are no behind-the-shoulder or between-the-legs passes by Yang, just high-level, accurate passing.

 
Kawhi is interesting trade idea actually I never thought of before.... Would probably only be available if the clippers are real bad and far out of the playoffs. But being the oldest team in NBA history there's certainly a nonzero chance of that.
