Contraction

...trust me on this one: the owners will not cave in first! They have way more money and other assets than the players! Some of these players, despite making millions each year....will be broke in 6 months!

More money, but they also have more to lose should things go sour.
They are playing chicken.... which group will flinch first and turn the wheel?

Probably because the crybaby now realizes his cajones aren't big enough to win with 3 mega-stars and he needs a couple more to win a title.

Hate to say this, but I'd actually pull for the Lakers over Miami in a championship. I don't care who takes out the Heat. Give me Boozer's Bulls or those #$% Celtics. Even Crymelo and the Knicks.

This, +8.
