Well Vet, if you paid attention the whole time, this was never a negotiation. From jump people have been saying this lockout was going to happen, and back LAST YEAR there was talk it wouldn't just be one season, but multiple seasons. Sure we get our hopes up, and get fed bs that a deal is close but over time it's looking more and more and more like the season and possibly more is going away.
So all your leverage talk is for naught. The owners knew exactly what they were doing and where it was all headed.
Answer yourself this, were they ever negotiating in good faith? Did they ever allow anything to the players? Did they say yes to anything? No right? So far they have only taken taken and taken more, that's "negotiating' to you?
Stop thinking this is actual business, with actual negotiating going on. That's not what's goin on.
