Hawks sale called off. Another vote in Stern's pocket.

Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Bargaining Agreement Discussion

Gotta disagree with you there. Lets say the owners get what they want. 50% BRI, higher luxury tax etc....that doesnt all of a sudden give the teams competitive balance. A hard cap maybe would have caused that but not the current system on the table.

I think Marino was talking moreso on the Jordan wanting a higher % of Revenue Sharing. Could be wrong.

Figures as much on the decert tweet there.

Sam Amick - SI

"Last I checked , having 10-14 hardline owners means there are 16 to 20 more reasonable men in the room. Majority vote needed, so..."

Exactly. Much ado about nothing. No one said this agreement would pass with a unanimous vote.

Tyson Chandler talks about how the Owners' proposal would prohibit him from re-signing with the Mavs:

"With the collective bargaining agreement and some of the things that they're trying to enforce, it would basically prohibit me from coming back," Chandler told the "Ben and Skin Show" on 103.3 FM in Dallas. "It would take it out of my hands -- and the organization's -- because it would almost be pretty much impossible for me to re-sign. I just think that can be the worst thing that can happen."

What do y'all think about this? Is he talking out of his *** or is this something that could be a real concern? I'm not sure I follow why it would be so hard to bring him back. Is it because the luxury tax could skyrocket?

I'm not sure. I think Bird Rights have been settled and there are no restrictions on that. So it would have to be either the MLE or the Lux Tax that would be the thing, and if that's so...good. Unless he wants to take a huge paycut to stay, he'll have to move on. Too bad but that's business.

Scott Howard Cooper, writer for NBA.com

Still unsure if threats from Thursday call were meant to jar Stern/owners or Hunter/Fisher. Could be either. Or both. Garbled message.

I think if that was Chris Bosh talking people would be like kick rocks son!

Honestly, I agree with OSU..good. They'd have to get their payroll under control

Right, so all Cuban would have to do is use the amnesty clause to get rid of someone and he can keep Tyson

Or pay a ton over the lux tax.

Although, what is DeShawn's contract? Hell, what is Kidd's contract look like?

Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Bargaining Agreement Discussion

I'm not worried with anything involving Dallas. Those guys can keep whoever and whatever they need to.

Amnesty Clause Brendan Haywood and his ******** contract.

Problem solved, sign Kwame Brown as a backup Center.

Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Bargaining Agreement Discussion

i think its absurd for the owners to offer 47% to the players, I mean that's an entire 10% decrease from the last cba was kind of negotiating is that? I think the players offering 52 is very fair. If the season gets cancelled I put total blame on the owners....
