like i said a page or two back. they wont decertify for a fact.
look at a large number of contracts some players have right now, you think they would give up guaranteed money that if they were to be voided, most wouldnt even see half of what they were signed to? yea right. i know for a fact if i sucked, had 55 million coming to me i would not sign anything that would cause me to lose that money.

160 guys are on min contracts.
Owner's proposed deal cuts those contracts by 12%.
Factor in taxes, agent cut, etc & that's a pretty significant decrease. A third of the player's union is getting hit right there.
So, I'm not too optimistic that this ends next week.

Screw your millions NBA players, entertain me!!!

I don't know if that link will work, but it's a link STRAIGHT from NBA basically showing the public what they sent to the NBA players.
Yeah, they definitely leaked it on purpose earlier then.

I think Stern is one step away from desperation that the NBPA signs off on the current proposal this week.

Hunter will make some amendments to the owner's proposal and have the reps vote on it. Obviously, if/when it goes through they'll send it to stern.

It's probably a 50/50 BRI split with the old system. And Stern will probably reject it since he & Silver are back on that "competitive balance" stuff.

The union REALLY needs a PR person next time. It's crazy how much better the owners/Stern have been at controlling the media and the people out there. Obviously, they have connections with ESPN and all that, so it's easier for them but it's definitely not hard for the union to get their voice heard. For example, Stern says if the union decertifies, they're being deceived by agents and they're going to get burned. He explains why - and the majority of people agree with Stern on that subject. Now if the union had any sort of brains, they would explain to the public WHY they think decertifying is the only option, why they have 200+ signatures, and why it might help them. (even if they're wrong or stupid - there has to be a legitimate reason so many players are willing to do it, even if its just to stick it to the owners or something like that)
Instead, the union just looks stupid in the public eye. Their only bargaining chip (decertification) is something that everyone sees as a waste of time and money - and they do nothing to dispel that notion. Compare this to the NBA who trolls Nazr Mohammad anytime he tweets wrong information about the labor talks. They make sure their points are known to the public and if necessary, spun to make it look good. Union is doing none of that and it just makes them look bad.

On Saturday night, Billy Hunter notified Sam Amick that he will submit the NBA's revised proposal -- with amendments presumably recommended by the union's executive committee -- for a vote by the 30 player representatives on Monday.
"We will vote on the NBA's proposal. The proposal will be presented with some proposed amendments," Hunter told Amick via text message.
Put it back on the owners shoulders
