Lockout!!!

I swear to God, if the entire season gets cancelled, and we get screwed on our draft positon because they average it over the last three years, I'm going to go ****ing postal.
 
All I have to say is that if the Union won't put the proposal given to a vote by all of there players how do they know if the deal is good enough for those players or not? I'm completely frusterated with this whole thing.
 
So they will do a projected team record to determine draft order next year? I hope we get a deal but I am not counting on it.
 
As Coon suggested, it's time to let the players weigh in with a vote, not pretend to know their best interests in weighing the deal. But I've lost any hope that common sense will ever be incorporated into this process.

Quote of the day from Eastern Conference executive: "If they decertify, game, set, match — it's [freaking] over."
 
It's defenitly over if they decertify. The courts won't side with the players and the owners will nail them. The diva days are over for these players.

I am guessing Jordan, Greggy Boy and other small market owners are hoping they do decertify. It will ultimately make it easier to pound out an even more owner friendly deal someday down the road.

I don't really care who wins the deal. I just want a system that promotes parity. I don't think either side really cares about that though.

I'm a novice at all this, but isn't parity very difficult to accomplish because of endorsement deals being based on market size .. not to mention where players want to live? That may be a highly bashable post .. I just don't know.

Yes, but the NFL has managed to do it. But even in the NFL, there are elite franchise who win much more than others. Still, the NFL has rules in place that promote parity.
