Lockout!!!

Wow. How have the players not figured out they have zero leverage in this deal? If they really did pass on 50/50, they're total morons. They will rue the day they ever entrusted their futures and fortunes to Billy Hunter and phony Derek Fisher.
 
The players are so stupid. Of course the offer is going to get worse, because every game that is not played is money taken out of the owner's pockets, so they are going to recoup that money. The owners hold all the cards. The owner's careers aren't 3 seasons long. The owners aren't living paycheck to paycheck. The owners don't have all their resources coming from one source. I hope the owners screw the players to the wall.
 
This quote says it all:

"I think everybody's waiting for the players to cave. ... I'm saying that's going to be a horrible decision," Billy Hunter said Monday.

Oh, you'll cave all right, Billy. You, Derek and the rest of the chumps will all cave. And when you finally come to your dim senses and recognize how pathetically weak your position really is, you will have given up far more ground than you ever stood to gain by "talking tough". You are destined to lose.
 
The NBA are run by morons. Only them and the NHL are so incompetent where they will miss games twice in the span of 12 years.
 
"The gap is so significant that we just can't bridge it at this time," Stern said.

"I think everybody is waiting for the players to cave," Hunter said Monday. "They figure that once a player misses a check or two it's all over. I'm saying ... that would be a horrible mistake if they think that's going to happen, because it's not going to happen. The players are all going to hang in.'

....looks like a long one.....EXCELLENT!

....you sound like my kind of guy! I 100% with you, bubba! The players have been screwing the fans for over 15 years now with "hopper" ball! It's pay back time! I hope the owners lock them out so long.....they'll be wishing they had saved all the money spent on their jailhouse tats....just to put food on there table!
 
Sorry for anyone who works at ESA.

There is so much dissatisfaction with the NBA already, this is just the icing on the cake and will definitely make fans lose interest in placing their money in a league that obviously doesn't give two ****s about them. Nice work, gentlemen.
 
I imagine Utah/Portland/OKC will suffer the least when the league gets back, since the NBA is the only game in town.

But for cities like Denver/Philadelphia/etc. where they were never great historical attendance draws, eek.

Love your quote. Haven't the players seen what happened to the NHL players? They are all idiots...or at least their leaders are.

This is who really gets screwed. All the little people that need the NBA to pull in a measly 60K a year. It's too bad.
