There was really no fight there. Just 2 guys that have no idea how to throw a punch, taking a shot and running lol.

"I don't think either player got carried away" after they literally squared up and punches were thrown on the court.  ;D

Thought the NHL nailed it with their draft weighting. I believe every team had a shot at Crosby in that draft, but the teams with the worst avg record for the previous 3 seasons had more chances. Also took away chances for previous first overall picks. Would suck to see either LA team go top 5, though.

This is an interesting question, and I'm hoping for the best too.

However, there's no way the league tells us the rules b/c it'd essentially show that they've given up on negotiating this coming season.  Unfortunately we won't know for awhile :(

In my honest opinion, if the NBA loses this season, they should suspend next year's draft.

From my observation the NBA year seems to run from July 1st until June 30th, so the draft is considered to be part of the previous season. Notice how the collective bargaining always runs out on July 1st? (like it did last time) And they also have that period where they adjust the cap for the next season during the moratorium.

So it would likely be like Army_of_One_Nation thinks it should
be, although I'm no authority on the rules or even know what they might be in this case.
