The Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets have the NBA's two richest local television deals.

The Lakers signed a 20-year contract with Time Warner Cable in 2011, which averages $200 million per year for a total worth of $4 billion. The Lakers received their first payment last season of $122 million.

The Rockets also signed a new 20-year deal in which they received $45 million last season.

Last season the 30 NBA teams collectively generated a combined $628 million from regional sports networks and over-the-air stations. That is just 33% of the total $1.9 billion the league earns from all media revenue, in comparison to the 54% generated from national television partners ESPN/ABC and TNT.
