$200 million total would change things. Plus whatever more the league would get in further expansion fees. They're getting $50 million from Golden State and $115 million from Toronto. Who knows what they'll get from teams #15 & #16. Bigger salaries would likely result in a longer schedule (44 games)?.

I'm not sure the new teams are writing $165 million in checks. More likely the fee will be deducted from future payments, or some other accounting maneuver.

The fee for Golden State is being paid over ten years. I guess the remaining expansion teams will do the same.
