the nba owners have agreed to give the players 50percent.
the nbpa has agreed to give the owners 47.5percent. 

Let's start the season, and donate the left over 2.5 percent to charity.  ok? NBA Cares! great.  sheesh

BTW, can we all agree that Mark Cuban could've had this thing solved over lunch?

I believe the "52.5%" figure is based on the players proposing a "band" where BRI varies from 50-53% based on total revenue. 

The owners calculated that on average this would translate to 52.5% BRI to the players, which is where that number comes from.  If their numbers are inaccurate or misleading, the actual effective % might be less than that.

Oh, I haven't actually heard anything about a 52.5% figure

  Somehow, I think you'd need Donald Trump, and it would be televised.

Not sure I care about 50% or 53% or whatever.  I really care about  a HARD salary cap so that all teams can compete.  And I care about NON guaranteed contracts so that drunks like Vin Baker don't keep getting paid.

Is somebody still paying Vin Baker?

Personally, I think that if an owner is dumb enough to sign someone like Baker, Arenas, or Curry to a multi-year guaranteed contract they are getting what they deserve if they are forced to pay it. Non-guaranteed or partially guaranteed deals should be the norm.

OTOH, I'd like to see it set up where you can drop a player from the team...at any time...and have their salary come off the cap. The team still has to pay them, but their salary doesn't count against the team signing another player. The player would then be free to sign a new contract with another team with no effect on what their old team has to pay them. I'd be perfectly okay with a soft cap like they now have, or a harder one...with this rule.

How about pinning some of the blame on the players for not living up to their contracts?  Are you telling me Arenas and Curry never performed high enough to earn those contracts?  They did; and then they quit.
