From the Star Tribune:
Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu was named the NBA's Most Improved Player. Timberwolves forward Al Jefferson was fourth in the balloting. 
 
 
 
NBA owners have approved a new plan that increases the amount of shared revenue doled out annually to deserving teams to $49 million, up from $30 million, as owners try to close the gap between high- and low-revenue franchises.
 
Also from Lombardo:
Adoption of the plan comes after a year of discussions about retooling the league’s revenue-sharing system. The debate was pushed along by a group of eight team owners: Michael Heisley (Memphis Grizzlies), Bob Johnson (Charlotte Bobcats), George Shinn (New Orleans Hornets), Paul Allen (Portland Trail Blazers), Herb Simon (Indiana Pacers), Glen Taylor (Minnesota Timberwolves), Larry Miller (Utah Jazz), and Herb Kohl (Milwaukee Bucks). In September 2006, they sent a letter to NBA Commissioner David Stern raising their concerns about how the league shares revenue.
 
 
 
 
This refers to parking-lot attendees, ushers, security personnel, ticket takers and concession workers who are employed by the city or the venue where the team plays.
 
As an Orlando Magic season-ticket holder, I have interactions with these groups of employees at every game, and none of the people in these vital jobs work for the Magic. Yet these are the first lines of interaction between the fans and the people who make up (in this case) the Magic experience. Thus, people can affect my perception of attending a Magic game positively or negatively with no direct connection to or investment in the team...
   
 
...Pete Winemiller of the Seattle SuperSonics and Jeff Munneke of the Minnesota Timberwolves have pioneered programs that work with non-team employees with measurable success...
