The Official NBA Collective Bargaining Thread vol Phased in Hard Cap

[duba169]

According to woj, Stern suggests that owner's offers will get worse for players to account for the NBA's financial losses during missed games

I thought owners lose less money if no games are played since the system is so broken. can't have it both ways

the nba has lost games twice in 12 years. think it's time to stop the praise for Stern. He's one inch above Selig

 

[duba169]

they made concessions on THEIR OWN RIDICULOUS DEMANDS

%@!$%$% morons.

players have given back. The owners haven't done %%*%

conrats on turning the best season in over a decade to a mess

This greed sickens me...if they cancel more than the 2 weeks, I promise i wont contribute to any of the BRI this season, not paying for tickets, parking, concessions, jerseys not a damn thing

I know its bigger than stern but two lockouts in 12 years is filthy, get a commissioner in place that can keep the damn sport running

I was reading somewhere that the difference in the BRI would be covered if they didn't cancel the season and just accepted what the current offer was. Pretty sure it was Berg.

Even Stern is a "Spin Master", he trill as $$$# for that statement. Now the average person will watch SportsCenter, and get mad at the players based off that quote.

It was all apart of the master plan.

Question, has there ever been a time in the NBA where the entire league (team wise) was profiting?

I feel sorry for the vendors and shop owners that rely on the NBA.

Question: What are the chances of the NBA just going out and getting replacement players. Say if this season is done. And we are in September of 2012 and no agreement has been reached. What then?

This would probably cancel the season altogether.

 

[Coupé It]

Once again the NBA disappoints, they're will be a lockout every single time the union contracts end, this league, owners, and players are getting ridiculous. I honestly don't think the players are going to budge because they will not come close to the same amount of benefits, guaranteed money, and contract lengths that they have been so used to in the past 10 years.  The players have known this, they were introduced to the idea that the players union will go to hell and back to fight for their rights. Players have been aware, thats why so many haven't been hesitant to play oversees and completely risk they're 2011-12 NBA salary, because they know they won't have one. Gentlemen, Basketball does not look good for the near future, if this was a betting man's game I would bet that we won't have a season.
