The Player's "STAND"

They should probably just let Fisher and Hunter do the talking from now on. When Durant says some uneducated drivel like that it just fuels the owners to stick to their guns even harder.
 
Funny that the owners are winning the PR battle. Think about a bunch of super richer ego maniacs who have inherited fortunes or spent a lifetime doing 'business' that would keep a normal man up at night-- versus the underdog kids that have overcome poverty and other obstacles to make a name for themselves.

Etan Thomas' article shows just how out of touch the players are. The LeBron & Wade debacle, Metta World Peace, and Kevin Durrant just wanting 'a little security' just digs the hole deeper.

I actually hope this lockout lasts years. Years and years. I'm sick of athletes getting paid ****ing 20 billion dollars, they deserve like a $80,000 salary. They're ATHLETES. The ballooning of their pay to macro-ridiculous amounts is one of the most disgusting parts of our society's history thus far.

The owners are winning because they know they are better and different than us but they don't try to act like they aren't. They aren't worried of selling out.

Craig- I have no problem with players making that much money...if the system can support it. Make as much money as you can, but do it the right way.

....good players point in this article. "The players can’t take on the burden of saving teams from themselves. If NBA teams have made bad decisions that were detrimental to their overall profit, success and productivity, then those are issues to be taken up with GMs, presidents and the rest of the powers that be. It is up to each NBA CEO to conduct his business in a way that will be advantageous to him and his franchise as a whole."

....however, this thing is what it is........and owners got the players by the nads!
