Lockout!!!

I really believe Evans will end up being a 3 if he's to make any sort of impact in the league, and due to logjam, Millsap might have to find himself there as well. If those two can make that transition, splitting the time at the 3 between Millsap, Evans, and Hayward gives you a lot of options.
 
Dwill still trains at P3. That's a good sign that the company is actually legit that a player still goes there after leaving the Jazz.

Found this article this morning, don't know how credible this guy is, but it's nice to finally see some optimism.

Yeah, I have been reading stories here and there of people being a little more optimistic lately, hope that continues.

Interesting today Sheridan is talking about the owners want to add a 3rd round in the draft as well as change up the order in the 2nd and third, but the editor missed a typo that or I'm miss-reading it.

Guess I'll cut & paste some of it in here directly related to proposed changes:
Under one proposal, the 15 teams with the worst records would continue to pick 1st through 15th, but then would also have the 16th through 30th picks. The teams with the top 15 records would have the first 15 picks of the second round, then would have the 44th through 60th picks, too. Under this proposal, the Chicago Bulls (whose 62-20 record was the league’s best last season) would have the 45th and 60th picks instead of the 30th and 30th picks. The Minnesota Timberwolves, who had the NBA’s worst record (17-65), would have their lottery pick and the 16th pick, but would no longer have the first pick of the second round — No. 31 overall.

_ Under another proposal, the teams with the eight worst records would get an additional first round pick, beginning with selection No. 22, and the teams with the eight best records would have no first-round picks but would select at the top of the second round (picks 31 through 38), then also would get the final eight picks of the second round.

So, you could miss the playoffs in the West these last few seasons and still not get a first-round pick? *Ouch*

It depends on if they want the qualifier to be playoffs or better record. But if they keep playoffs as the qualifier (as they probably should), then it would hypothetically work to create better conference parity.
