Warriors finish 2016-17 with NBA’s 2nd highest net income

The Warriors finished last season with the second highest net income in the NBA, according to an ESPN report published Tuesday. Golden State reportedly brought in roughly $92 million, which accounts for the $42 million it shed in revenue sharing. That only ranks behind a Lakers franchise that, despite winning just 26 games, recorded a net income of more than $115 million. Per ESPN, the Warriors netted $44.3 million from just nine playoff games last season, more than double that of the second-place Cavaliers, who netted $20 million. It is just the latest marker of Golden State's evolution into a business juggernaut.
