If you can summarize their talking points here, I will give you a tommy point. My view is that it is the player agents vs the have not owners in this mess that have control over the negotiations. There are good (play pro basketball this year at all costs) and bad (shut down the year vs status quo for players) factions on both sides of the negotiating table. Billy Hunter and David Stern are just messenger boys for the media at this point (and very poor ones at that).

I probably ought to step back now before I lose my temper.
