Is the lockout going to end soon?

[Mission Accomplished]

So the other day on SLC Dunk they had an article about a tweet from a players rep talking about the lockout going to end. Then he took it down. Now on the radio this morning I heard the Derick Fisher is tweeting players telling them to get ready for a season.

If anyone has those refrences can you please post them. Are you optimistic? What do you think teams will look like with players scattered all of the world?

Players won't be scattered all over the world if there's a season. To my knowledge, the only players that will miss the season overseas are players that sign in China (Wilson Chandler, possibly JR Smith and others). And even then, I think that's a buyout situation

There's also very, very clearly a thread for this discussion stickied at the top of the page.

I know that but this is a new thread because of the recent tweets. I didn't want to get this lost in a huge stickied thread. If you want you can have the mods merge this thread with the other thread. But, there were two recent big time stories that have came out on the lockout over the last week.

Am I the only one that hates the stickied threads at the top of the page? I'm sorry but I don't want to jump into a converation that already has 23 pages. People will jump all over me if I bring up a point that was discussed on page 14...

It gets worse if you decide to start a new thread on the same subject!

Not even going to get cautiously optimistic. I take the "I'll believe it when I see it" approach.

...exactly, what is a "tweet?" I know if you cross a parakeet with a fan...you get shredded "tweet!"

I completely agree. The same thing happened around the draft. It is pretty ridiculous to restrict all lockout talk to one giant thread. I would love to see more lockout talk/opinions from posters here on the board, but I'm not going near that thread.

Hell, why not just make one giant Kanter/Turkey thread? We sure don't want the board getting cluttered.

 

[sepanol]

anyway, apart from the thread, stick talk , what are the opinions of people here? Is the lockout gonna end soon or not? I didnt read much news recently

 

[DutchJazzer]

what lockout?


imho it aint a lockout till the first game is canceled.

dutchjazzer has it right,there will be a season because the NBA is not the NFL and they cannot afford to screw with fan interest.The casual fan could careless if the season starts and thay can ill afford for us basketball diehards to go the way of the casual fan. I see there being a season with no missed games,but maybe a shortened preseason.
