NBA Lockout

Today the canceled the 1st 2 weeks of the season. I have a tough time siding with the players in this one. I was on the players side for the most part in the NFL lockout but in this 1 the NBA players make far to much with the gauranteed contracts and I heard a stat a few days ago that kinda surprised me, the NBA players make an average of 2 million dollars a contract more than any of the other 3 major sports. My question is are u guys even going to miss the NBA this season? Cause i dont think i will.

There will not be an NBA season

another way to put it is LeBron James will once again fail to win a title.

Ya I need something to watch when football is over.

Fuck, Basketball is my second favorite sport, Sucks for me.

I feel sorry for people that make money off the NBA besides owners and players. Like Vendors, Ushers at the arenas and restaurant owners around the arenas.

I typically go into a dark depression when college footbal and basketball, and the NFL aren't on, but the NBA is kinda whatever to me. I like watching the playoff's and that's about it.

The worst NBDL team would squash the best college team. Food for thought.

Well it doesnt look like they are getting any closer and now they are talking about canceling all of Novembers games.

It's a difference of opinion
and no one's gonna give in
rich guys fighting over more money

Yeah from what I been hearing is the owners offered a 50-50 split which is a 7% drop from what the players were already getting. I see why the players are fighting it but they have to come down from what the experts have been saying. Sounds like the Players said they would go to 54% or some shit. Either way it wasnt enough.

*yawn*

College Hoops > NBA

I guess, if you don't care for quality.

They'll simulate this season through NBA 2k12 and when it says the Miami Heat win they will give LeBron the ring they so desperately want him to have.

Just heard that they are having a unscheduled meeting. Hopefully good news comes from it.

doubt it

Stephen A. Smith said he believes a deal will be done by next week.

Well sounds like todays talks went no where and the rest of November was canceled.

Is it just me or are the players fucking stupid for not taking the 50/50 split with soft cap??? How fucking greeding can you get??? You want to make more than the owners??? What the fuck is wrong with people in this country?

Well from all the reports out there from everyone that isn't a current player, the players are being fucking greedy. Now the owners may be taking it a tad too far in the other direction but from all reports out there, the NBA players are just filling those pockets and don't feel it is their problem that they made out like bandits on the last deal.

There ain't gonna be any basketball this season(atleast in our country) cause these greedy ass fucks want to now make more than the people who gave them their fucking jobs.

Their is no other way to see this other than the players are greedy imo, they rejected 50/50 what more were the owners suppose to give? I'm super pissed at all the big name players.
