Lockout!!!

NBA should hire me. I could fix things fast.
I don't believe you. The only way the owners will agree to end the lockout is if they get nearly everything they want because under the current situation the majority of them are better off financially if the season doesn't even start. The only way you're going to fix things is if you can convince the players to sign the owner's current offer, and that's not going to happen until they experience some serious financial pain. We're in for a long one, boys.
 
I saw a quote from Billy Hunter (I am too lazy to look it up). But he said something along the lines of he expects the 2012 season to be lost completely. I have maintained all along that the owner's are very willing to lose an entire season and that they have little incentive to begin another season without some serious concessions by the players. The NFL owners just won their lockout. They got a hard cap, non-guaranteed salaries, and a lower % of money going to the players. The NBA owners are going to hold out for a lot of the same things. Without a hard cap and lower % of income the owner's will sit out the players indefinitly. I always expected a full season lost, and I would not be surprised if the NBA loses more than that.

And they got and demanded all of that even when the NFL has been doing just fine. This is what billionaires do, people. How THEY end up being treated like the poor I will never ****ing understand. This country is incredible.

If you hate the NBA that much, then****ING GO AWAY.

I don't have the foggiest idea why a person would want to post their 'thoughts' about something they hate to a bunch of people that think they're an out-of-touch quasi-racist in the first place.

But here you are.
 
The NFL already had those in place.

You are right they did. And the NFL is the best ran sports league in the world. They make money their players make money and every team has a chance to compete. This should be a signal to the rest of the owners in other leagues how to make the most money.
