Damn, that just bummed me out for you.

Not really. It hurts all parties/teams equally.

I wasn't annoyed at all, just saying that's too bad, people need sports for reasons like you mentioned.

I've always wondered why owners need to be "saved from themselves".

No one told the Wizards to give Arenas a major deal coming off knee surgery. They did it because?

I might be slightly off base, but guys who are "smart" think they are smarter than they really are.
I liken it in to the Hedge Fund world where you have traders who think they're God's gift to making money because of one or two awesome trades.  They then think they can do any deal and it'll be the deal of the century.

RIP NBA SEASON 11-12















Another year LeBron doesn't win a ring

In the long run, the league will benefit from a season being wiped out.

But like already mentioned, the biggest loss of the lockout is all those people who work at arenas, and/or who work for the team, who rely on them for the daily 9 to 5 grind.

Luckily at this rate, I think an arena proposal will be approved before the lockout is even over
