It's been a slow news week as far as the lockout goes. Found this article today to get my false hope fix. Leaders from both sides meeting tomorrow and/or thursday. Hopefully it's a good sign, we'll see.

Loan does not help. the money has to be paid back. so in eccense they lose income this year. and have to pay the loan back. stupid ****
Not really. If they a house,car,child support,etc. payment to pay that they can't pay because they don't have a check coming in, they can borrow money from Kobe (probably at a better rate than from a bank too).

It will be interesting to see what these willing lenders are really going to do. Say, if I were Kenyon Martin and I were not going overseas, would Kobe be willing to lend me $9M since I made that much last year? Or he would only lend me veteran minimum since he thinks I am only going to make this much?
Training camps just got canceled.

Email from the jazz I got.
We appreciate your continued patience as the NBA and the NBA Players Association negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement. Since no such agreement has been reached at this time, the league has postponed player training camps and cancelled preseason games scheduled through October 15, 2011.
Please know that you are a vital part of the Utah Jazz, and we value your support.*
We want to assure you that the league’s efforts are focused on reaching an agreement that benefits all parties involved.* The NBA’s goal is to secure a sustainable business model that enables all 30 teams to compete for a championship, fairly compensates players, and ensures a world-class experience for our fans.*
We recognize that without our fans, there would be no NBA. Your passion for the game is what motivates us, and we do not take your support for granted. The league will continue to work toward a new collective bargaining agreement so that we can get back to enjoying the excitement of NBA basketball.

"Steve Kyler: So where do we stand... 3% or about $123 million and a hard cap apart... Players have a choice. 53% and a hard cap or 50% and no hard cap."

50% and no hard cap is a pretty good deal for the players considering what the owners wanted originally and what they could basically continue to hold out for (45% and a hard cap).
For my part, I think the players should get 51% under a flex cap system with most of the existing rules remaining. Max length for MLE deals should be shortened one or even two seasons with a provision where the free agent's last team can offer that additional year or two even without Bird Rights.
