Lockout!!!

...but did he pick up any basketball brains over the summer? I doubt it. He's been in the league for what, 5, 6 years? Still doesn't understand the concept of the pick and roll. Dump him....and his salary.

IMO Jefferson slowly starting to figure things out at the end of the season. He isn't were he needs to be but at least he was moving that direction.
 
Starting to feel like the lock-out was pointless. Owners cave on hard cap, owners cave on luxary tax, owners cave on sign and trades, owners cave on bird rights, and just when a deal appears in sights Lebron, I can't doit myself or with just 3 other all-stars, James announces he needs Jamal Crawford of Steve Nash to come play in Miami, just days after Crymelo was speculating that the Knicks need Chris Paul.

NBA is still broke, the lockout accomplished nothing.

Hold on we don't know the exact details of the deals being made. Plus what makes you think that the owners were the one starting to cave to make a deal?

Like Zulu said unless you know something we don't probably should wait and see what comes out BUT I called it some 4-7 pages ago in a rant after one of the talks broke down that nothing would change and while the fan is always the loser in these it was even more so this time. I had, had hopes that at least they'd try to fix parts of the system but realized the owners used that as a PR move and just want their money same as the players.

...true dat! A real waste of time....unless, of course...it breaks down again and this time for the duration!
 
... or it really does get resolved in the next few days .. I'm sure most of these guys just want to get on the court and play some ball. Yes, CJ, I really do.
 
I bet the owners get the shorter contracts they were looking for and a slight higher penalty for going over the luxury tax.

Because the owners did not get every demand, the lockout diden't work? At the very least, they're getting 5% more BRI. That's hardly "nothing".

You think that those of us who were more sympathetic to the owners side felt that way because we wanted them to get more money and for the players to get less? C'mon now.
