The "lockout"

[lJesterl]

I wouldn't put to much stock in a lockout next year. The NBA has learned a lot from the NFL's situation. It has been very ugly and very bad for buisness. Believe me when I tell you there will not be a lockout nextyear. The NBA players should buy the NFL players gifts because they paved the way with the NFL disaster for the NBA players to get whatever they want.

I don't see the owners caving, especially if the courts uphold the NFL lockout.  The NBA survived one lockout, and they could survive another one, too, I think.

A partial lock out could actually help us out quite a bit.  If we get to shorten the season down to 50-60 games, it really benefits KG, Pierce, Allen, the O'Neals, etc.

The talk is cheap right now.



The owners and players are really far apart.



I see lockout still.

And unlike the NFL, there are teams actually losing money.
