Lockout!!!

[NUMBERICA]

I agree. Another year of players egos taking control and dictating what they want to do. They make more money then any other athlete out there.

With exception to baseball. And they also play more games than any other sport that's not baseball.

Math is the craziest thing.

I hope this gets done. This lockout obviously hurts a lot of contenders. But it also hurts the Jazz ability to develop guys.

I agree, I'm excited to see the Jazz play with all the new guys. They probably won't make the playoffs, but still, it'll be a bummer if basketball is gone.

....these player proposals scare me! The owners may actually buy into them and we may have an end to the lockout! That would mean pathetic NBA basketball WAY sooner than I want to see it! Bummer.

Those were the owners conditions not the players. It is probably the best deal the players will get though, if they still want to play hardball I will be blaming them for the lost season.

I didn't see one racist comment in that statement. He was generalizing about an organization's employees not a race of people. Are you implying that those behaviors are delegated to one race? It looks like you Joe Bagadonuts are the racist. https://jazzfanz.com/images/smilies/eek.png

...actually, the players came down below 50%. Didn't think they'd ever agree to that.

...on second thought, I guess your right. It was the owners that offered 46 then came up to 48.

Of course you don't. Calling someone "a pathetic hopper" is something you find perfectly acceptable to say about people who are born with characteristics that you don't respect.

I'd guess they also play in the sport with the highest per player revenue.

NFL teams carry 53 players and play 16 games.

MLB teams carry 25 players, plus loads of minor league players, and play 162 games.

NHL teams carry around 20 players, plus loads of minor league players, and play 82 games.

NBA teams carry at most 15 players and play 82 games.

.....hopperism is not something your born with! It's an acquired "taste"!

NFL is king because contracts aren't guaranteed. Take away guaranteed contracts and the NBA product increases dramatically in quality.
