I feel the whole next season wont happen. The NBA will do what the NHL did and just shutdown the league till the players cave in imo. Sad though.

Owners want Franchise Tag, Want to eliminate sign and trades, salary rollbacks and amnesty, Hard cap of 45 million i think, and elimination of guaranteed contracts.

The hard cap of 45 million is going to be what causes a long lockout between players and the owners.

Welcome back Mario.

But I think the NBA will manage to avoid a lockout. Hopefully learning from the NFL's lockout situation.

That would be nice. There's obviously a lot of money at stake for both sides so I think they'll be able to figure something out. I'm pretty optimistic about the NFL lockout too.

Yeah I was the same with the NHL, part of that though was because I quit playing the year the lockout happened so I started losing interest. I don't see that happening with me and the NBA if there's a lockout, I know more about the NBA than any other sport so yeah. I'll be pissed if there is a lockout that's for sure.

The NBA will have a lockout, and it'll be worse than the NFL's.

Yeah, I was like 10 at the time, so it's a bit different now. Plus the NBA is my favorite sport, and I follow it religiously lol. But I'll still be very angry too lol.

I do think that is a very real possibility :/
NBA players are much more divas lol.

Unfortunately Rip, I don't think the NBA has the leadership the NFL has. The NBA is a dictatorship, what Stern says goes. Stern doesn't give a shit about us fans, the players, the coaches. All he cares about is that he gets what he wants, and he'll lockout the players for the entire season if he has too. Stern is the worst commissioner in all sports. Like you said, NBA players are divas, so I don't see them budging like some people think the NFL players will.

stern is ok.

but the $45 Million is fucking retarded. no more sign & trades is retarded. the roll backs of the contract is retarded. those three right there will give us a lockout. i hope its short though, but nba players are divas and i believe it will last a while =/
