Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Bargaining Agreement Discussion

Unprecedented? Seriously D-Fish... Look at the compromise that the NFL made. SMDH.

Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Bargaining Agreement Discussion

Fisher says significant changes have to be made.

What, exactly, would compel the NBA to make these "significant compromises"?!

Hunter says sign-and-trade, mid-level exception, the tax cliff and the escrow are the major issues.

He was sounding like a fake piece of **** about it.

"Not saying anything, just saying it's interesting."

Yeah, right. We all know what that means. He's being a punk and dancing around what he wants to say. If he's got something to say to these former players, then say it.

Fake LA *******.

Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Bargaining Agreement Discussion

While I would have like to seen all player getting a vote. I understand why though, and that's the reason they elect team reps. His vote counts for his teammates.

Come on everybody who does as much talking as Hunter, Stern, Fisher, or Silver are going to be fake and/or deflect questions. There's no way they step up to a podium and speak the truth.

Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Bargaining Agreement Discussion

I'm starting to look at this as a business not basketball. So whatever, end it i don't care.. when this lockout is over i will be running back to NBA in no prob. Even if it takes years (I Think)

Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Bargaining Agreement Discussion

You know what, I know what the NBAPA wants, but the truth of the matter is, just take the deal and move on

This has to be the biggest most spoiled babies I have ever seen in my life

First the issues were small, now again significant (same thing roger mason said before the last meeting).. so in all honesty, they seem to be spouting out confusion while I at least know where the owners stand

Just end this crap, you wont accept just go ahead and decert then

Then he shouldn't skirt around and be a smarmy prick about it. Don't mention them at all then.

Agreed. I don't care both sides have their points and will do whatever to get what they want. This isn't personal for me and I won't have any problems enjoying the game when it returns. Can't even say with football around I'm evening missing the NBA. I heard on BSPN that a poll said 76% of basketball fans agree with me and don't even miss the league as of now.
